[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5633208, member: 1409"] I would even add another "twist" to this. Not just areas that are "difficult" to hunt, but areas most hunters find "undesirable" to hunt. Some of the biggest bucks now are being grown in "urban" areas, where the deer spend most their time in a small patch of habitat surrounded by subdivisions, interstates, and industry. Many these areas offer a smorgasbord of quality deer foods (even without farmers' agriculture). [B][U]But most of us go hunting for reasons other than just the very best odds at a high scoring buck[/U][/B]. [B][U]Just give me some "fair" odds[/U][/B], [U][B]even "low" odds[/B][/U], [U][B]but give me a hunt more in a wilderness area, void of the urban industrial sounds, smells, and eyesores[/B][/U][B].[/B] Many believe President's Island (Shelby County, TN) to be the very best public land opportunity in TN for taking a high scoring buck. After years of forfeiting many other public land hunts for the opportunity to hunt President's Island, my PI hunt made me sick to my stomach with the putrid smells and sounds of the surrounding industry & downtown Memphis. It was like deer hunting in a landfill. Not my cup of tea. [/QUOTE]
