I'd be a better hunter if I....

[generalist]

.. didn't have a phobia of snakes. Out for a quick trail came check here in CA and I came across this. Brush busting for me is always a mental struggle. What holds you guys back?

100% agree, I live up here on Vancouver Island and when taking my dog for walks the brush busting in 3-4 foot high stuff gets the heart pounding as Black Bears and Cougars are VERY local visitors. Especially when my dog finds the remains of a kill.

...stopped walking around in "explorer mode" and just sat still more.

I'd be a better hunter if I had............actually, it's more like I'd be a better killer........if I had more patience. My aggressive hunting style is fine. I get on a lot of nice bulls. But it's the finesse and patience stuff when I make most of my mistakes. I stay in aggressive mode, instead of transitioning to finesse mode, and I force things to happen instead of "allowing" them to happen.

Could hunt more. Like all day on most days. Practice helps make better

Scouted more. Hard to do for trips out west, but that goes for whitetail and turkey around home too.

Im new to hunting sooo where to start? I may not even know half the things I don't know but: Had experience, had a teacher, had more time, was in better shape, shot more, scouted more. I'll give myself credit on reading a ton.

Snakes are always around, most folks just do not see them.

If only I lived near world class hunting and could go whenever I wanted.

Many times I have found that patience in the field can be a matter of seconds and minutes rather than a matter of days in the field. What I am trying to say is that I can remember so many situations that I have blown opportunities in a matter of few steps or getting up from a stand a few minutes before an opportunity would have presented itself. I've rushed shots, moved to deep into prime locations, started into the hunt a few minutes late; the list goes on. As I have matured as a hunter I have learned to plan my footsteps better and to be more patient and observant for those moments that are so crucial to success.

Ok, scouting was #1. But in all honesty, I need more time...

What's a tree stand? More patience.

...stressed less about work and household maintenance/projects and focused more on being in the hunt. I am in good physical shape and can suffer with the best of them but got to get my mind in shape.
