Not always exclusive but usually I'd say.
Some of the older guys that kill monsters every year...I smoke on the range. Not great shots even. But they consistently spot, pattern and hunt mature whitetails and won't take a small buck...doe for the freezer the last week.
One guy I met last year at the club was a rock star shooter. Won a couple of 3D's and was a 600 shooter indoors ; flubbed a shot @ 12 yards on opening day. Twice and by a mile! "Doe Fever"!LOL!
A good shot does not make a good hunter.
Eqipment does not make a good hunter (although I think it can give the mediocre hunter an edge...I spend a lot of money on that belief
)
Seem like most I know are hunters first and just have the weapons as tools.
