Default RE: What is your best skill???

I'd have to say my most developed skill.....even though it's really not a skill, is my instinct. I use many different methods to get my deer, because if I didn't I would likely be eating tag soup. Here in northern Maine, we get only one tag, and it HAS to be a buck.

I am good at stillhunting, stump sitting, calling, and tracking.....I let my instinct tell me what my strategy will be on a given day.

When it comes to making the shot......no problem if I'm using my old standby! Instinct takes over there too, and the shot will most always count!

The points I want to improve on are.....having more stamina when it comes to tracking big bucks for days (and many miles) at a time. This is what I need to focus on improving the most.

I have plenty of patience, sign reading ability, stalking ability, etc. I just need to work on knowing when to speed up and increase my stamina so I can close the distance on those true monster ridgerunners!
