[QUOTE="Ski, post: 5265799, member: 20583"] Ha! I understand that sentiment exactly. I've got 100 acres of intensely "enhanced" habitat in one of the top counties in the country for producing book bucks. Everybody I know seems to have the same hopeful delusion that giants are running around like you see on those arcade games. Then I let them hunt. They almost never come back. Once is enough. Turns out sitting days on end without seeing a single deer is demoralizing for some hunters. Once they realize private land isn't actually easy, that booners don't offer themselves up as sacrifice, they lose interest. In my experience most hunters want constant stimuli and instant gratification. They all say they want to hunt big bucks but in truth they'll choose seeing does and young bucks every sit over a long, grueling hunt that may or may not end with a trophy. Even though they know that when they finally see a deer that it very likely could be a giant, they'd still rather sit where they can watch a bunch of does and youngsters. I suppose that's why they say 90% of trophies are attributed to 10% of the hunters. [/QUOTE]
