Treat every hunter with the respect they deserve. Show compaction and interest in there experiences and equally share yours. Give guidance where you see fit and be willing to receive guidance without a prejudice mind. Let it be known you are no better a person than a new hunter; you just have it figured out.
great statement and I agree 100%. However, the problem lies with how people define "hunter". Everyone has a different perspective of what's right and wrong, what's ethical and unethical, what's hunting and not hunting, and ultimately who is or isn't a hunter in their eyes.
That would be great if everyone was on the same page and shared the same attitude, but unfortunately there are too many variables for that to happen. Not everyone who enters the woods with a weapon can be automatically considered a hunter. It goes way beyond that IMO. Which forces us to determine what makes that person a hunter and unfortunately examine who he/she is as a hunter. Only then can you give them the respect they deserve.
