Who can kill the most deer or the most bucks is certainly no sign as to who the better huter is. In this day and age, who the heck couldn't kill a bunch of deer with modern equipment.
You want the best hunter then show me the men who can consistently tag MATURE animals from their area and I'll show you THE best hunter in your region.
Numbers are for rookies and kids, consistent quality comesfrom a level of dedication and knowledge gained through experience.
My thoughts exactly.
If that the case put me in that category...
How ever I think theres alot more to it than that.
Now I'm a rifle hunter and I take pride in my marksmanship,however one thing I do lack is any desire to try Bowhunting ..
Especially hunting the open west for mule deer and elk sheep and goat...
I think what makes a great hunter is being able to take these big matureanimals consistantly using this technique...
But reguardless bowhunting is a challenge no matter what animal one is hunting and the odds are in favor of the animal in just about every case.....
I can appreciate a hunter who can do this and to me it make them a better hunter..
