  • Stealth in movement - blowing game out for miles around doesn't help anybody,
    blowing your shot because you can't draw smoothly doesn't either
  • Ability to read terrain to find game hot spots - doesn't matter if you're doing everything else right, if the game ain't there, you ain't gonna shoot it
  • Positional shooting - I've never really loved any shooting position I've ever been in on a stalk or still hunt
  • Comfort and confidence to exist "off grid" and navigate efficiently - including planning your locations, especially access to water

  • Ability to pack smartly - less is more (except for socks). The clothes you choose,
    navigation methods/gear, camp gear & tent/tarp, water supply, binos/spotting scope, etc. If you're throwing 95lbs of crap in a sack and expecting to have a good week, you're sadly mistaken
