That comment is exactly why I believe the point you are attempting to make is a farse.....because the chances of patterning a mature buck in such situations (after the velvet comes off) is much more fantasy than fact. I won't say never, but I would say EXTREMELY RARE.
I filter through thousands...read that again...thousands...of trail cam photos on a WEEKLY basis during the summer months...when mature bucks are most patternable. Over the course of an entire summer, I might get a couple dozen shots of mature bucks...with many of those being one offs. The vast majority of mature buck photos, just like the photos over scrapes during the rut...are taken at night.
If you would actually get out and try patterning a mature buck using a trail camera...during hunting season...it would not take long for you to understand how laughable your assumptions/accusations really are.
There are none so blind as those who will not see.
