Thread: DOC land - The real Hunters bragging rights?

@Mrfants

If you are considering whether paying for a block with some high likelyhood of success might be easier than putting in the miles, firstly it might be, but secondly it will give you some exposure to deer so that you can learn their habits, test how quiet you have to be to sneak up on them, how much you can move before they see you etc, what plants have been browsed.
Once you have some or most of that figured out, it is a lot easier to find them regardless if it's public or private land.

I am not in the top 10%, but I can say exposure to numbers helped me move from 'occasional lucky chance encounters' to 'occasionally predictable encounters'.
