RE: What are you?
I'm a hunter if you want to call it that. I go where the action is. I put 8 to 9 stands up on my 160 acres and what doesn't work in one spot i'll then go to the next and give that a try, depends on wind and sign obviously when picking my spots.

RE: What are you?
I'm a little bit of both I guess. I don't fit your definition of a "hunter" in that I don't move locations a lot because I simply don't have that many options. That doesn't mean that I don't scout and do my homework for the limited places I can hunt though.
If you were going to classify hunters into categories I would say that any of us that use tree stands or blinds are are "waiters" in the sense that we set up and wait to ambush deer. Where as a true "hunter" would spot and stalk them, sneaking up on the ground to see how close they can get before taking the shot.
In that sense I am for sure a waiter, I have no problem admitting I am no where near a good enough hunter to spot and stalk deer, especially with a bow. I did shoot one off the ground before, but it was a chance thing and I think it was a VERY stupid doe.

Like many, I do what ever looks like it has the best chance of success. Have probably spent more hours in the woods as a "waiter"; but the times I have made the spot/stalk thing work were more rewarding personally.

The funny thing is they always seem to find your lap.

I'm a waiter. I like to wait around and have good bucks fall in my lap!
