What’s the best advice you’ve been given?

[mike1320]

There’s so much to learn out there in this industry and people have a lot of knowledge that can benefit others both new and seasoned. I got the idea for this thread thanks to the popular “unpopular opinions” that has been recently started in this forum. Hunting, fishing, backpacking, hiking, camping, etc. what’s the one piece of advice you’ve been told that sticks with you the most or something recently that you’ve been taught that can benefit others.

Mine was simple but very true for when I did my first non resident Wyoming pronghorn hunt, don’t shoot the first decent pronghorn you see on the first day. They weren’t joking as the chances of finding a nice pronghorn was high due to the insane amount of them in the area we hunted.

Trust but verify.

This has to do with calibers, bullets, gear, life in general too.

A buddy invited my dad to a 3d shoot.

Dad: "why would I shoot fake animals when I could do the real thing?"

Love is your most important asset. Time is your second most important asset.

Happy hunting and see you on the mountain, TheGrayRider a/k/a Tom.

Maybe not the best but one I remember
From an older dude from La:
Boy, why you want to get in this business? You oughta go back and farm.

He was right but I didn’t. Retired now anyway.

Don’t buy fast food, buy raffle tickets instead

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast

 

[TaperPin]

Talk is cheap - judge people by their actions. Works with hunting partners, politicians , kids, spouses, parents, coworkers, and the friend next door.

Has this paid dividends?
