Brock made a statement in Jesse's Captain Jack thread that I read over and over.
Brock stated "Deer don't even know where they are going to wind up, best you can do is be where you know they have been before as they are likely to go there again".
Now that is contrary to my way of thinking about deer movement. My mind constantly works trying to figure out why a buck is here today and there tomorrow. I study thousands of trail cameras for hours, using the photos in conjunction with temperatures, time of day and wind direction to try to be in the right spot at the right time. I'm thinking I'm wasting my time doing this.
If the deer don't know where he is going to be how can I figure out where he will be. I always asumed a deer had a reason for every movement he makes, now Brock has me wondering about it. What do you guys make of his statement? Does it all boil down to just dumb luck?
