RE: Underrated Skill
I am learning from, who I considered "the best", my fiance'. He has been hunting his entire life and he is patiently teaching me everything I need to know. Last year when I didn't get anything early bow him and his friend waiting for me to get home from work before they tracked and gutted their deer.
They are so careful but so quick. One pain in the @ss thing is having enough laterns to light the way when the shot is taken closer to dusk.
He knows the deer patterns and trails so well in our area that 9 out of 10 times he can locate them in a flash; thank God, most of the time, they are creatures of habit. The one time they go out of the "norm" he amazes me. Such quick thinking.
