People always ask me how they can kill a big buck. I always tell them its a combination of things. For one, you have to have a certain amount of knowledge in the animal and the area that you are hunting. Big bucks are smart, and as our hunting tactics evolve, so do the deer. For example, 50 years ago, deer never looked up into the tree tops. Death from above just didnt happen! I tell them that they have to pay there dues and have lots of patience. I think this is the hardest one for them to swallow. Its not solely their fault. In this day and age when everything is getting faster and faster, the technology etc, they expect that harvesting a big buck should be quick too. Guess again! I think game cameras have been the biggest advancement in the last 20 years. They can provide years worth of information in one season and save a lot of boot leather. To top it off, you need to have good luck. Every year you hear of that one lucky guy/gal, thats goes out into the woods for their first time deer hunting, and kills a HOG! Congratulations to them but thats not the norm. On the other hand, I know better hunters then me that have never killed a buck over 150 B&C. Luck plays a huge role! One piece of advice for hunting during the rut- never overlook lakes surrounded by cattails! I have discovered some wily old bucks push their ladies out into them along the lake shore. They feel that the threat of another buck stealing their date is lessened and they have a easier time keeping their betrothed from escaping. I have harvested a couple great bucks in this very situation, and have seen several more! With that, I wish you all a great hunting season and GOOD LUCK! The CAMO Cowboy
