I did a paper on this my sophomore year of college, pretty interesting stuff really...

First let me clarify something that' ll I' ll use a lot..." better hunter" doesn' t mean they get more game, just that they' re better at predation...i.e. naturally stalk quietly, have better natural understanding of prey movements, better natural understanding of use of camoflage, etc.

I believe there are people born to be more efficient predators than others, not so much we' re meant to be hunters or not, but some are meant to be better at it than others....I also feel it has a lot do to with our physiological self as much as our psychological being, people are predetermined genetically to be more predatious than others, and this makes itself obvious in many ways:

Physiologically: people that have more pointed teeth than average (I actually grew canines in with my baby teeth, outset from normal teeth allignment, large curved and pointed teeth, my dentist said it gave him chills), higher set more pointed ears, closer set eyes with deeper/dark sockets with stronger chins and foreheads, people with good peripheral vision, distance judgement, and most importantly good ' night vision' tend to be better hunters than those of the opposite persuasion.

Psychologicallyeople who tend to be more aggressive, who like their meat less cooked, who tend toward competition for fun as opposed to comradery, people who tend to be more volitile emotionally, people who tend to be more contented through self internalized assertion as opposed to needing the support and confirmation from others, etc tend to be better hunters than those of the opposite persuasion.

Now, this doesn' t mean that people who don' t appear to be genetically predisposed to predation cannot make great hunters, with practice anyone can be, but those who ARE predetermined to be better predators than others tend to progress more quickly and be successful more often without as much practice...for instance, I can stalk to within 5yrds of grazing deer-proved that to a buddy two weeks ago, while that buddy actually PRACTICES quiet stalking so he does well on the hunt, I also tend to be a much more accurate shot than all of my comrades with less predatious natures given similar amounts of practice. The above mentioned buddy shoots his pistol about equally well as I do my favorite pistol, but he' s preparing to be an LEO, and runs about 200rnds a week through it, while I tend to only put about 25rnds a month through mine, I terribly out shoot him (even with his own guns) with all other guns though.


Point is, one can make themselves a good hunter, but some people have a better natural aptitude than others, just like anything else, it' s just in this case, the physiological and psychological earmarkers are more obvious than say...determining who will be more predisposed to being a good bowler
