hunting good land is definitely key but it still takes a lot of skill and woodsmanship to kill good bucks in Jackson Co., more so than anywhere I've ever seen. My flat land/ black belt buddies are blown away by how hard the hunting is on my place compared to their' s. Year in year out our crop of bucks is as good if not better but our bucks are just harder to hunt, see, kill. They love the views and love the change in scenery and know the potential to kill a really good buck is there, but when they see where I go to hunt and what it takes to get there they are usually happy to get back to their flat ground and shooting houses. Can't say I blame them, but for me there is nothing like hunting the mountains, but it's hard work and frustrating at times.
