As hunters we are not judged on encounters. We are judged by animals on the ground, and our walls.
I would beg to differ.
And in succession I would beg to differ with you.
Sadly, you are wrong for the most part. We as hunters are judged (mostly by other hunters in this regard) by animals on the ground or on the wall. When is the last time you've seen printouts of encounter stories on the wall being marveled at by hunters?
I think what you are saying and what the guy you quoted is saying are two different things. You don't judge yourself based on wall decorations but a good deal ofpeople judge you that way.
