[QUOTE="Steelers Fan, post: 4388587, member: 16254"] [I] The October buck hadn't caught wind of what was to come yet. He was still in the normal, early feeding pattern. Hitting only the feeders close to his preferred bedding area. Also, travel is not conducive to October temperatures in a fur coat. The November buck was bar hoppin'. Cruisin' the deer trail highways, scent checking bedding areas enroute to every bar and restaurant in his territory and maybe beyond. He's done with one and on the run for another interesting night of fun! As for cameras, they are incredible tools. They have their place but can be misleading too. You can gather intel from them but your always behind the curve. Everything you record is what has happened and not what is to come from each transitional part of the season. As Roland Martin said, [B]"I've lost some tournaments[/B] [B]fishing for memories."[/B] It still requires a season or two to understand their overall movements. The cellular models seem great because you don't have to field check them and blow, educate and be patterned by the very buck you're trying to outsmart. [B]Don't outsmart yourself.[/B] I don't hardly use them anymore. Once you've hunted an area and know the common, seasonal patterns, you'll understand that you can only kill them if you are there.
