Hi bigcountry,
I think you hit the nail "dead on the head" on that last one. Knowing yourself, and knowing your weapon, is what really makes the difference! And the hunters that follow that dictum......seldom have problems.
And hopefully when we share experiences on these forums....we also share those lessons. I know.....I'm still learning too. I figure the day I got it all figured out.....I must have died the preceeding night.........
