He does all this while balancing a busy family and work life. A real world evolution as a hunter.<br><br>What I learned:<br>- Keep an open mind and learn for everyone around you<br>- If you want to hunt mature whitetails then find properties where mature whitetail exist<br>- Scouting takes time. Those that do it right often spend more time in the off season locating bucks and areas to hunt than they spent hunting during the season<br>- A picture is just a picture it is the information you gather from it that is important - wind, weather, topography, time, location, and proximity<br>- Patterns, patterns, and more patterns. Be a student of the outdoors and learn from your mistakes and successes. If you understand Whitetail behavior you can start to locate the best spots for mature bucks anywhere
