    With the thread about who will kill the biggest buck i got to thinking....If you have the bucks on your property and are not killing them every year, then who on here could come to YOUR woods and kill them? Im man enough to tell you Im struggling to kill the better bucks on my land. I would bet there are at least 5 guys on here that could close the deal before I can given they have enough time... here they are:

    GregH
    Magic
    Schultzy
    Rybo
    quicksilver

    would likely close the deal before me destroying my ego....:hail:

    Nothing to do with pride

    Idolizing other hunters or talking about who is better than who just isn't my thing

    no idolizing or talking about who is better. Just simply asking if anyone on this forum is good enough to come to your property and kill what you have not... could you learn something about your own land by having someone here come and hunt your grounds. could they kill the biggest bucks on your land or are the big bucks that hard to hunt that no body could? I was joking cooter about the pride thing...:cool:

    While I am grateful that you thought of me….under no circumstances should I be anywhere near the top of a list like this.

    I don't idolize other hunters but I know theres allot of people on here that are better hunters than I am. If I had to pick some off the top of my head I would say:

    Quiksilver
    DukeMicheals
    Todd
    Southdakotahunter

    My decision has to more with the fact these guy's go and hunt new places every year and get it done. IMO

    guys noone is talking about idolizing anyone...many of you are awesome deer hunters and I wish I could have many of you here to hunt my lands, but I can't. Rules in the lease doesn't allow it for the most part. Im not a bad bowhunter myself, but I do know that a few of you guys could show me a thing or two about my property and it would probably end up helping me kill one of many good bucks on my land. Not idolizing anyone man, Todd and Walt from WKP as well Duke are a given for anyone's land, but Im talking about the everyday guys on here, who come and do it on your property? Rybo, I do believe you could do it here easily ....don't you kill some good bucks on public land??

    Grizz and Duke both come to mind rather quickly for my area. Grizz is from not too far down the road and a great hunter, and Duke seems to hunt the same type of ground I do.

    I know whoever came would be damned frustrated with the property lines they were bound by! :deer:

    recognize is the correct word... I believe there are different ways to kill the best bucks on my land, I just think there a few on here that could do it faster and much easier than I can.. thier knowledge could be a a savior for me...so what? so I admit that someone could teach me something about my own land....why is this idolizing or saying they are better hunters than me...?? they may not be better , just have a fresh idea...

    Sorry, no offense was meant. My reply had as much to do with past threads of yours as it did this one. To each their own.

    You asked so I will answer.

    A for instance would be threads like "Who do you think are the five best hunters on this site"? (Huntingnet.com)

    I just think it is kinda silly...that's all. Not a big deal though.

    I've never hunted with any of these guys so its hard for me to say how they would handle my ground or how I would handle their ground. Are we talking about just dropping them off for a week with no prior scouting? Or are we saying they know everything you know about the ground?

    My picks would be based purely on how much time I know a few of these guys spend scouting and shed hunting.
