rather-be- huntin... thats is alot of how i feel, i am sure not there yet! but i do scout as much as i can, that is what tool i used to harvest my last 3 elk(scouting). it didn't matter where i was hunting, high country, plains, or just the foothills, what mattered was the simple fact, that i did all of the learning i could about the animal and where it lives,eats, sleeps, and waters. how they respond to calls, hunting pressure. i have learned this area for over 10 years. that is what i call being a good hunter, not because i shot a 339 5/8 6x6 or i have a 66% harvest rate. i work hard to be succesfull in the field, not always do i fill a tag. but there is something special about having kids with you, that some may never get to understand.
thanks for all the replys!
