RE: Hunter Height
I'm 6'4", these days I mostly hunt deer, but do still occasionally hunt small game and upland birds when I get the chance. I've been meaning to try turkey hunting for a few years, but never get around to it. I had also planned on trying some waterfowl hunting, but I've since tried wild duck and I didn't like it. I've had domestic duck that was very good, but the wild (I think it was a mallard) was tough and the whole bird tasted like liver (which I can't stand... yuck! [:'(]).
For deer I'm strictly muzzleloader and CF rifle. I also tried bowhunting, but after 2 for 2 wounded and lost deer, I decided that bowhunting wasn't for me. Upland birds and rabbits I use a 12 gauge with #6 1 1/4oz field loads, for tree rats I generally use a .22LR, but I will also use my 12 gauge with #8 shot if the opportunity arises.
