There is a real difference between knowing something and learning something...at least for me. I have known for a long time that it is important to get into your sets quietly. Walk on the quietest path to the spot...park far away...gently butt close car doors, etc. This is the first year that I have really started to apply it as opposed to just knowing it and doing it half heartedly. The watershed event for me was sitting thinking about all of my successful and non-successful stands thus far this year. I realized that the overwhelming difference was that I did much better at the spots I had to park far from as well as those spots I could sneak into.
You guys know what I mean on the difference between knowing something related to predator hunting and finally learning it...
