Even though I have been hunting for more than 25yrs, I rate myself a 4. I have killed some really nice bucks in that time but I can't seem to do it year after year as some do. Matter of fact, I have gone deerless the past two seasons. Not because I didn't have shot opportunities, I chose not to shoot at deer I really didn't want to shoot. It just seems I'm missing some part somewhere that would make me more consistant.

I'd rate myself at a 5. Average I guess. Been hunting for well over 20 years now and like stated above I have taken some nice bucks, however I know there is still alot for me to learn always is

When it comes to hunting im a beast, id give myself a 20 if i could lol. No but seriously, i really have no idea how good or bad i am, i guess a 5 or 6.

I gave myself a 7, I spend countless hours scouting, studing, learning, and experiencing the outdoors and the animals that I choose to hunt... I judge myself on those animals that I do hunt because I have absolutely no experience hunting in Africa and even some species of animials here in the states (for instance ducks,geese, most other winged animals with exception of phasants/turkeys).. I know if I was to decide to hunt those particular animals I would do the same type of methods I use now in order to increase my odds.. For who ever put a 10, either you know nothing about hunting or your full of yourself.. some of the best hunters in the world still wouldn't rate theirselves at a 10.. There is always more to be learned and any experienced outdoorsman would tell you that they learn something something new every single day..

I rated myself a 6 because I only started hunting a year ago.
But for the year i have been hunting i have done a pretty good job so far!

I'll take a 5.

Always room for improvement.

I rated myself a 10. Originally I was gonna go with somewhere around an 8 but after reading how many people think that planting food plots and putting up tree stands makes them at least an 8. It doesn't, planting food plots might make you a better farmer but it does nothing as far as improving your hunting skills. I also rated myself higher because of the fact that I consistently take many different species of animals not just whitetail deer. Elk are an exceedingly tougher animal to hunt than deer and in my opinion bring out any flaws a person has in their hunting technique.

i said 7. even though i am yet to kill a "big buck" (probably because i tell my self i'm a cameraman first, yes i know stupid lol) i put forth the nessecary work and time that i feel is required to be a "good" hunter. this goes as far as scouting, planting plots, hanging stands and even shooting my bow.

I don't think anyone on this forum will be able to classify themselves as a 10.

I rate myself as a 5.
