I believe I am 3 and 4, but mostly 3 because I'm truly focused on taking a record book buck. I'd like to become solidified into stage 4 beacuse when I think of "method stage" I think of rattling, decoying, scents, spot and stalk, etc. Any other method to take a deer other than your traditional still hunting. 5 is a goal.


Which brings me to my next point. GMMAT and magicman, why not view these as dreams or goals? If you are in stage , why not shoot for stage 4 (as I am doing) to better your woodsmanship and hunting abilities. Just a thought.
