What are your core values that reflect your particular hunting style?

[5MilesBack]

This is why much of my big game hunting is comprised of public land hunting or door knocking on private land.

Is there another option for hunting besides public and private land?

Take 10 hunters, put them on 500-acres of land that they have never stepped foot on before and give them five days to hunt with all things being equal, the guy who comes out with the biggest/oldest/most-mature/top-scoring animal is the best hunter, in my opinion. Due to the degree of luck that comes into play during a hunt, this scenario should be repeated over the course of 10 years to gather enough data to determine who is the hunting champion.

This is what I truly believe hunting to be.

WTF is that? hunting isn't a competition (I feel very sorry for anyone who thinks it is) and it isn't pure and isn't perfect

Give a guy a rope and he wants to be a cowboy....

What is this "hunting" thing anyway? I hear guys talking about "meat". You can get "meat" that way?

Kool-Aid "everyone is drinking it"

GO Pro - "yes, you too can be famous"

YouTube - "when you're full of shit, and have a video to prove it"


Good grief.....

Give a guy enough rope and he'll hang himself...


Not sure what to make of this thread. I will say that I don't agree with how it's portrayed in regard to this topic.

What I do...

Go hunt.

Enjoy the outdoors.

Spend time with family.

Bring home meat for the freezer.

Never worry about the other guy and what he does when he hunts.

Leave the competition out of it.

Be humble.

Respect others in the field and give them their space if they beat you to a spot.

X's 2.....my thoughts exactly

I think my core values is the determination of executing my plan, my way without help. Sure, I will read the forums and use G.E., but I am not going ask someone for their spot. I want to learn and succeed on my own. All the scouting, trail cams, time away from family, gas, and miles walked. Whether I succeed or not, I want to pay my dues and it makes it that much more satisfying when I do connect. Better yet, I am even more happy when my hunting buddy harvests and vice versa. I know when I go out of state, there will be a learning curve and I readily accept that. I just want to pick a unit and figure it out, successful or not. It's that personal challenge of you verse nature and bringing meat home.

Enjoy it, respect it, be safe, learn from it, don't neglect life outside of hunting.
