So everyone who has experience is intelligent?
Everyone who is intelligent certainly doesn't necessarily have experience.

RE: What's more important in the whitetail hunter's arsenal?
True...buckmaster. I feel I have the knowledge and a little experience, so I think patiently waiting for what I have studied to come into reality is a key to my arsenal. If that makes any sense.
I kind of think that intelligence has little to do with knowing deer are out in the woods, more common sense to me. Even someone with lower intelligence can gain from experience and learn what to do to make themselves a better hunter in my opinion. Like an animal that adapts based on past success or failure. If you look at it this way, then I'll stick with experience.

Well intelligence is what lets us put our experience to use, so they do go hand in hand.
I kick my neighbors dog repeatedly for crapping on my lawn, but that damn dog keeps coming back. The dog gets experience each time I kick him, but he has no intelligence to use his experience to tell him hes gonna get kicked.
I wouldnt trade my "exerience" for anything.

Experience...but I was thinking about posting something similar and I would have to say for me patience.

I'm having trouble understanding how experience "automatically"= intelligence.
You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip.

Intelligence is the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge. Hey, I just did that when I learned from experience not to make loud noises around deer, for example.
