[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5790119, member: 20583"] I think it's the difference between public and private hunters. Public land hunters like Infalt who target older bucks, hunt a lot of different properties both public and private. Same with Eberhart or any other "mobile" type hunter. They do a lot of scouting and locate numerous spots where they may get a crack at a mature buck. If they bugger up a place they simply move on to another, and if need be can always come back to revisit burnt spots after they've had time to cool off. They show very little respect for an older buck compared to private land hunters in terms of how much they'll intrude into his core. It's a numbers game. The more bucks they've located to hunt, the better their odds at getting one. Private only is different. A lot of private land hunters won't hunt public. They put all their eggs in one basket so that sanctuary is probably more critical for them. If they bugger up a spot then they've ruined their property maybe for days. And during rut that can be hugely consequential. So they give probably a lot of times too much respect out of caution, and IMO it costs them opportunities at great bucks. They don't have other spots to hunt, other big bucks to chase. So they sit back and wait for a buck that may or may not present itself. Sometimes it works but pretty rarely do I see a person hunting one single property and stacking up big bucks like the mobile guys do. [/QUOTE]
