[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 595568, member: 2011"] I grew up in western PA hunting white tails until 1964. It took me a lot of years to get over white tailitus. That is looking here when I should have been looking way over there. Also I was used to the buck sticking close to does. Missed plenty of shot chances by becoming locked on to watching does when the buck was over on the adjacent side hill. As to risk. Its very easy within a few 100 yards to make a decision that will end one up in a completely different drainage. You'll miss a ridge and come down to where you think you want to be but be miles from your intended spot. Also more than a couple of miles from where you started, have an accident that impedes your ability to navigate, you could be in big trouble. Then for the hunting part. You can shoot a buck just about any where if you can cover enough ground fast enough to increase the odds of crossing paths with one. A lot of time can be unproductively spent doing with some would call scouting. The secret to scouting is to know where to start scouting. Let's switch to email or PM and swap some locations on Google Earth. I'll show you some places that may trip your trigger. All ya need is a decent heads up. [/QUOTE]
