Many business catchphrases are worn out, overused and a little dorky. But when it comes to hunting Texas deer, the thought of one of them can lead to good things.
Researchers can dissect and explain the whitetail’s great eyes, ears and nose, but no amount of data can explain how and why each deer responds so differently to what it sees, hears and smells.
A rifle hunter catches the bowhunting bug, becomes a better hunter and bags a fiancé along the way. Still, her hardest-earned “trophy” will be a mature whitetail buck.
Did this happen to you this past hunting season? Before opening day you found a really good buck using your trail cameras, so you set stands, were all a-twitter—then never saw him again all season. Did you think you did something wrong, and forced him to go nocturnal? Maybe—but probably not.
