I personally thought it was a great post. A lot of the time things are read into these flat screen comments that turn them into something they are not.
I know exactly what you are talking about, I hunt with guys{from the East and the West} all the time that overlook the obvious to me. Really quite simple things that make all the difference in the world.
No matter what I'm hunting I'm always making mental notes for other game whether it be hogs, deer, turkeys or Predators. I always keep the terrain in mind and what wind and sun would be perfect for each set up. I will give up the sun advantage when I need to but never the wind.
Even here in the West where coyotes are "dime a dozen" there are tons of hunters that aren't killing coyotes. Sure they get one from time to time, but the odds are a little better here than in the East. You would be amazed at the number of "hunters" that tell me: "I've never been able to call a coyote during the day" or " no matter how long I call I just can't get them to come in, just friday night I shot at two in the pasture but when I went back and called the next day they wouldn't come in". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif
The other thing I hear a lot is: Man your the luckiest hunter I know"! I always say; yup it's amazing how good your luck is when your in the field 200 plus days a year. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
There is some good info to be gained in sled's post. Again it is very hard to get a true feel for someone or their tone by these dang flat screens alone.
