Very well written article. Great discussion on what it takes to succeed as a hunter. There are many aspects both mental and physical, and the appreciation of nature and the outdoors. Thanks

Just have to get out of the car and quit road hunting......see most Chevy and Ford guys do this.

@Jim Carr is an animal! He has done a couple scout packages for me and each time they have pushed me pretty hard and I learn a lot throughout the process with him. Unfortunately this year I was the weakest link in regards to physical fitness. Not only did I disappoint my hunting partners but I felt like I would have let Jim down a bit too by not being able to give some of his Intel a fair shake. I know there is a sense of pride and success when you help others fill their tags. That sense of failure has really motivated me to get in better shape again (lost 20lbs since the beginning of that hunt already).

Anyway, Jim is in a unique position to interact with all sorts of people, hear all the excuses imaginable, and learn exactly what not to do. I would heed anything he says, with one caveat....double any distance or time he tells you it takes to get into a spot. That should give you a little cushion anyways

After hunting with Jim a lot you learn one thing. You will not keep up him, he’s a freak of nature. And like whisky said double everything he tells you.

So your saying that you don't need 20-30 guys in on a group hunt to be successful?
Astonishing!
