Whitetail Myths...here's one

[Steverino]

Good points about pressure fellas-
In my experience, this does make a huge difference as to what deer will tolerate as human odor and their behavior generally reflects this.

I do believe that as we have learned more about deer (cone color readibility, olfactory senses, and general behavior) we have been much more successful as hunters than our forefathers.

If you look at hunters that consistently kill mature animals, they usually employ some of the newer technology in their arsenal. Anybody can usually take younger does and bucks in an unpressured area. IMHO, to be successfull at hunting larger, mature whitetails in pressured areas, this requires completely different hunting tactics.
