So, a friend and I were talking today. We were speaking in regards to another mutual friend of ours and I mentioned that he is a "real good hunter."[/align][/align]My buddy looks at me oddly and says " I am a way better hunter than him, I havekilled two timesas many bucks as he has."[/align][/align]I was kind of taken back by his defensive comment and thought about it for a moment. I have never considered this friend a "real good hunter", more ofan opportunist so to speak.[/align][/align][/align]I think what a bowhunter passes on shapes theminto the hunter they will become much more than what they kill. To me a "good hunter" isn't someone who has taken a truckload of deer but one who understands their quarry's temperament,posture, habits, and to an extent their impulses. Someone who not just finds deer sign but understands it, understands why it is there and the significance or insignificance ofit all.A person who can see thewhole scheme and not just what is right in front of them.[/align][/align]Some may not agree with me but this is just part of what I believe makes one a "good hunter." Agree or not this is how I see it.[/align][/align]I welcome any mutual or opposing views.[/align]
