[QUOTE="TN Larry, post: 5702722, member: 2019"] Patterning one is definitely easier than killing one. I’ve only hunted the velvet hunt one time but had three mature bucks patterned perfectly or so I thought. They were coming every afternoon to a 7 acre clover field and coming past my salt lick in the back corner before heading to the field. I thought it would be a slam dunk but wasn’t. I only hunted the afternoons and saw them all three evenings but zero shots within bow range. Each afternoon they came to the field with the wind to their advantage and from a different direction. I changed up locations the third afternoon, and they still out smarted me. So I went home that weekend with not the slam dunk that I thought but a big piece of humble pie. I haven’t had one worth hunting the past few years that I knew where he was so sat on the side lines. I’m not saying in a sense that it’s not easier as their guard is a little different but still a wild animal that’s not stupid. I was just amazed at how they entered the field differently each afternoon when I was there as I thought I had done my homework. [/QUOTE]
