Perception is reality. A true hunter is whatever whoever wants to be at any time.
A true hunter could be someone who is actually in the woods or preparing to be in the woods in the morning instead of talking about hunting like we're all doing.
Oh, GregH says a true hunter doesn't lie yet he's posted that he has a horseshoe stuck in his head all the while everyone knows he himself is a walking horseshoe. Not only that, he's too overly modest about his skill and experience. Is modesty not also a lie of sorts? Now, not only is he a walking horseshoe, he's also a walking contradiction.
