Any one can grab a weapon and head for the woods, but the question is "What makes a great hunter"...

IMO, when a hunter has learned what really happens in nature and animal behavior....

Learns the meanings of what is happening and what is going to happenin nature by reading the Barometer....

Learns enough about Meteorology to be helpful as a woodsman.....

Respects all hunting laws where ever you hunt.....

Has good knowledge of different weapons and ammo and isproficient with same.....

I believe this is what makes a Great Hunter and not just........Hey, lets go hunting dude!

X 2 Rebel.....A hunter that knows the game he is after, knows the terrain he is hunting, knows his equipment, knows and understands ethicsand knows all the game laws and knows all of this to the T.....That makes a hunter a great hunter....

Respect for the animal and environment
Understanding of everything around you (land, animals, equipment)
Patience
Those three things are key in my opinion

I don't think I can expand any further on Rebel's statement. Amen brother.

RE: What do you think makes a hunter..

I agree with all of you and would add a hunter is a person who nevers stops learning and working at becoming better at all aspects of the hunt. Knowlege of the game you hunt, knowledge and proficiency of the firearm or bow you use to hunt with andknowledge of the area you hunt in. We can never stop learning or practicing!!
