I got nothing from it but I've been at it for quite a few years.  (I know, old dog & new trick)

 

What tip did you get the most out of, Rob?

Sorry it wasn't up to your standards Larry.

 

 

I found this to be the best point:

 

 

10. You read too much.

Hunting publications, including Realtree.com, are full of useful information and you've spent months devouring every how-to piece you can find, and you intend to follow the advice of those “pros” to the letter. Your season is about to suck because of it and we outdoor writers will be cussed once again.

The Fix: Here's a dirty little secret that outdoor writers hold tight: We don't know everything. A story about rattling in bucks in Iowa, for example, can contain a lot of great advice. Follow it here in southern Michigan, however, and you'll send any buck that's lived long enough to grow a second set of antlers running for the hills. Can rattling work in pressured areas? Yes. But you'll need to figure out for yourself just how to apply it properly.

Sure, you will be able to use many of the tips that Brantley and I are sharing here. In context, we know they work. But will they work exactly as prescribed in the area you hunt? No. Not unless you're able to apply a bit of woodsmanship and common sense to them.

Common sense applies to about everything in deer hunting. You have to be able to take well-rounded advice and apply it properly to where you hunt. Read and learn from those how-to articles, and then adapt them based on your personal experiences with the deer and areas you hunt.

Do that, and you will likely find that your deer season didn't suck at all. – T.H.
