1. Out of all of the aspects of hunting what do you do the best in your mind?
2. Which part do you enjoy doing the best?

2. I enjoy scouting the best. I love to explore new areas. I guess I'm always searching for that perfect spot. I also like the run and gun style of rut hunting. I love moving and calling. I am getting a little tired of the long sits. My run and gun style also puts me in front of more shooters.
Since I took up tracking it is by far the thing I love to do the best. But thats rifle hunting. My ultimate goal would be to track and kill a big one with the bow. I will wait until I get betterat it before I try the bow.

I'm better at archery than hunting.
I usually outshoot my buddies on the 3d course, but I suck at figuring out where the big bucks are. It might be because there just aren't any big bucks where I hunt, or maybe I just suck as a hunter. I don't know.
I think I see fewer deer than most bowhunters because I hunt high pressure areas. But when I do get a shot opportunity I almost always make it count.

I enjoy hunting more than the preperation for hunting. The hunt is what it is all about.
Im not sure what I am best at, none of the above? lol Ive just been having the hardest time the past two years putting myself in front of big deer. Before when I only rifle hunted I saw big deer every year, and allbut one came within bow range. Now that I started bowhunting, I have had much worse luck. The greater challenge combined with loosing good hunting grounds gave me just what I bargained for...I like the challenge. It will be oooh so much sweeter when I stick a decent buck and silence my buddies calling me crazy for holding out for the right deer.
