My take on this whole thing is, If you hunt a fenced area you are not a hunter you are a shooter, big difference.
If you pay for a hunt and all you have to do is show up and they point you to your stand and you sit there and wait for Mr. Big Buck once again you are a shooter not a hunter.

To me a hunter has to hunt. This is scouting, figuring out the deer patterns, hanging tree stands and moving when needed. We all know that hunting is hard work sometimes but that is what makes the rewards so sweet.

Lets say you take someone that really knows how to shoot a rifle very well but they have never hunted in their life. They pay for a nice hunt somewhere and they shoot a B&C buck, does this make them a hunter? Not in my book.

Now take someone that gets out and scouts a area, learns to pattern deer and place treestands and all of the other stuff that goes with hunting. Now this guy takes a nice doe. This is a hunter.

Its not the size of the deer that makes you a hunter.........its the hunt!

Just my 2 cents worth.

Have a great day!
