Washington hunter, and Cameron. Unlike Buzz, who I do like and respect, I won't call you names. I actually like you guys, but am a little disapointed. I've talked to mtMiller that is a great friend to me too. Looking back shouldn't have joked about giving out his hunting spot either. But it surely gave no clue to how to find out were it is
The way I see it I would give no one clues to anything or anyway to have someone draw a unit that either I'm applying for or a friend was. Hunting area's are hard to come by. Unfortunately I'm still in the 95% of the hunters Buzz is mentioning about. There is alot of truth to what he writes. I've been fortunate enough to hunt and talk to some that are in the top 5%. I consider guys like Greenhorn and Buzz in that group. Whether you think Buzz is an A$$ or not, he hunts hard and studies hunting and hunting area's alot. They are successfull for doing so.
I've been marketing, networking, studying, E-mailing, and Befriending alot of people over alot of years. It's not for brown nosing, or I don't intend it to be such, but just to learn. In doing so, I have more X's of were big chit has been taken. Some of the X's are meeningless because it's in hard units to draw. Like the one we got. <3%. But even at that, the success was only 75% last year ? and of those, how many were big bulls. You still need to know how to hunt an Area that you can't study yourself. Thats where the friendships come into place.
Hunting spots and information are like women. There is no "secret" in getting a woman. Hell, anyone can get one. Anyone can get a good one, luck happens to once in awhile. But once you get a Woman you sure don't want other people going there. You can take the "Women" out and insert "Hunting Spot or Hunting information" in that above place and it is also true. It really is.
I know where alot of successfull hunters hunt. The problem with that is I can never go to those places without them. Matter of fact, could never hunt anywere in that area. From that, it limits alot of were I can do some of my hunting. I would rather give up hunting then tell people were someone like Greenhorn kills his Bulls, Lopes and Buck. I'm using Him as an Example becuase he is very successfull, hopefully you can relate. Alot of others here are too. But the thing is, to get in the "trust" of people it takes alot of work and sacrifices. I would sacrifice posting pictures to help a Unit draw odds out. sounds funny , but I would.
Once again, I could go out, research my own, never share info, etc, but to me hunting is also about the fun of going with people andI like going with people that can Share that top 5% of the secrets, success, and 100% of the fun that goes with it.
As far as being Pissed, Nah, I don't sweat much. I hardley never get upset. But I would do what is need to keep info secrets. I'm sure everyone knows and respects that.
You boyz are big enuff, I'm not huking this post unless it gets to crazy.
