Default What's more important in the whitetail hunter's arsenal?

Experience?

Or

Intelligence?

Isn't there an old adage about "perfect practice"?

You can not have one without the other. Not effectively anyway. They compliment each other and make a hunter successful.

Both are definately worth their weight.

But intelligence wins. In my opinion.

Experience...but I was thinking about posting something similar and I would have to say for me patience.

So everyone who has experience is intelligent?

Everyone who is intelligent certainly doesn't necessarily have experience.

I'm not following you......

I'd say experience. You learn from experience, right? Learing from experience = intelligence.

You can be the most patient person in the world, but without intellegence of the animal your hunting your not going to see anything.... I doubt you could wait patiently at the top of the empire state building and see your Freak nasty walk by.... make sense?

But it goes the other way too. you can be intellegent and know right where that deer is gonna be.... but theres no way to know when.

I'm having trouble understanding how experience "automatically"= intelligence.

You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.
