How can I become a better hunter?

Ok, I give. What's the joke? Does keeping the sticker on it add 10 points to stealth?

How can I become a better hunter?

Thanks. That’s my concern… I can do it wrong until the day I die and not learn anything, even if I randomly get lucky. It sounds like I’m wasting too much time hunting areas with few to no elk. The thermal scope confirmed that I guess. I had the same concern coyote hunting. Once I went out...

There’s always one. maybe if you took the time to actually read my thread you would’ve seen that I got to work and put in over 100 miles with no luck. I’m just trying to avoid doing the same thing if I’m doing it in the wrong way.

How can I become a better hunter?

Clearly practice isn't it. I've been at it for 6 years and I still suck. I feel like my first two years I learned a lot, but now I feel like I'm just *wasting* my time. Field time is never a waste, I just mean I'm putting in tons of miles and not progressing in skill or knowledge. How do you...
