OK well we seem to like these threads this time of year..

Are you a hunter or a waiter?

My definitions:

Hunter:
Hunt multiple areas, do the scouting and stand placement yourself, try and figure out the details yourself. Move to different areas when the details indicate it's your best move. Use interception, travel tactics primarily.

Waiter:
Pretty much going to the same area, and see what shows up. It could be a planted field or food plot, afeeder, an outfitted hunt. Use destination food source tactics primarily.

I've always been a hunter. I'm always looking for new spots and when I see the deer in a field I'm pouring over maps trying to figure out where they are coming from, what terrain features are directing them, and so on. I like that part of it more than the waiting part.

This weekend I'm a waiter. My younger cousin is coming to NC from SC to hunt with me. I'm going to try and get him on his first deer ever...gun or bow...and he'll be using his bow!

It depends on what time of year it is. I get aggressive (hunter)when I think I can. Other times....I think this tactic can hurt my hunting.

So.....I can't answer it one way. I am both.

I hunt a new spot every year. Don't have the luxury of waiting around.

This year I am not any of them

I have waited and not got anything
I have hunted and not got anything

Cant aswer that one, you need a both catagory. Sometimes I set in a tree, others I still hunt. This year I took a buck setting in a blind and another still hunting along the river.

Fellas The poll says primarily....I'm not cornering you. Your saying both so your exactly 50/50 ??

I love hunting new land, hunt three counties with alot of different properties.

I would have to agree with Burnie. I would be a mix depending on the time of the season.
