I hunt in some prime deer hunting property in the blackbelt and there are a significant number of people that complain about not seeing deer, all I can do is laugh at them. They seem to think that continually hunting the same way, not scouting and doing the same thing over and over and over again is going to somehow miraculously change their luck. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to walk out on a greenfield and see tracks and just about every blade of green clipped off to putting green height to know deer are there. But apparently one has to be a brain surgeon to figure out that deer are feeding in the plot after dark when they have "sat" on the plot and not seen a deer for the 42nd time.


"After all, it is not the killing that brings satisfaction; it is the contest of skill and cunning. The true hunter counts his achievement in proportion to the effort involved and the fairness of the sport." Dr. Saxton Pope
