RE: qdm=loss of hunting skills?
vt; I agree with your ratings except driving with people. I rate it well down the list. It' s the most successful method of hunting that I' ve ever used but there was very little hunting skill involved. Of course I could still be a little mad about having 8 hunters drive through my posted property 10 minutes after opening on the first day of deer season. I' d spent months getting everything ready (just bought the property) and I' d moved into a tree stand 2 hours before opening. Up pulls 2 trucks and the next thing there' s group' s moving through the bush banging on pots. I told them to leave but they drove right past flushed a deer out of the cedars and shot it when it hopped the north fence.
