OK well we seem to like these threads this time of year..
Are you a hunter or a waiter?
My definitions:
Hunter:
Hunt multiple areas, do the scouting and stand placement yourself, try and figure out the details yourself. Move to different areas when the details indicate it's your best move. Use interception, travel tactics primarily.
Waiter:
Pretty much going to the same area, and see what shows up. It could be a planted field or food plot, afeeder, an outfitted hunt. Use destination food source tactics primarily.
I've always been a hunter. I'm always looking for new spots and when I see the deer in a field I'm pouring over maps trying to figure out where they are coming from, what terrain features are directing them, and so on. I like that part of it more than the waiting part.
This weekend I'm a waiter. My younger cousin is coming to NC from SC to hunt with me. I'm going to try and get him on his first deer ever...gun or bow...and he'll be using his bow!

RE: What are you?
Cant aswer that one, you need a both catagory. Sometimes I set in a tree, others I still hunt. This year I took a buck setting in a blind and another still hunting along the river.
