KyBucks Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 when it comes to your style of deer hunting, whether you consider yourself a trophy hunter, meat hunter or just a deer hunter, how good at it would you say you are? I really think that it takes a hunter many years of experience in the woods to reach their full pontential. I've been hunting for over 25 years and by no means am I saying I'm a great hunter, but I've came a long ways since the days of setting under the first white oak I could find. This post even make any sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OJR Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? Meat & deer hunter! I will shoot right now and don't worry about how many points the blasted thing has! Fawns do get a free pass and the ones that are down in the bottom of a canyon!! Uphill ones had better look out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I'm getting better. I don't see as many flags in the woods like I did when I was younger. I used to think still-hunting, was sitting on a chair too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? Pretty crappy this year. LOL Nuttin but tag soup on my winter menu if I can not get it done during ML season. 0 for 2 so far this year. I normally get my limit and I consider myself an OK deer hunter. Meat hunter sounds like an excuse as to why your unable to be a trophy hunter. LOL Trophy hunter is basically out of the question where I am from... I shoot whats legal and eat it...

Cutter Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I think I'm an ok deer hunter. I'll shoot any adult Muledeer that gives me an opp. I passed on two 125 class & one 135 class Whitetails so I guess I'm a trophy hunter when in comes to them.Saskatchewan has lots of anterless tags available for both Wt & Md so I'm not giving any free passes to the gals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I hunt because I enjoy it and I do pass on several deer each and every year, but I am not a true trophy hunter and not really a meat hunter either. I have learned so much over the past 14 years or so and am still learning. I like to think I do get better as I gain knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbeck Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I've been doing this for 28 years, And I know we have alot more info available to us now. I'm a hunter, depends on where I'm at for the trophy hunting. If I'm in Montana, I want a good one. If I'm in Pa. My standards go way down. I prefer Bow hunting, but still take the rifle out once in a while for a change. I also take a flint lock on occasion, The doe I took with that smoking choking thing I called a trophy.

arrow32 Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? Over the past 4 years of hunting ive learned a little as of what not to do and could work. As far as being a meat hunter or a trophy hunter im a little of both id say i pass on deer but ill take smaller ones. I can say i just hunt to be in the outdoors i dont give a crud if i dont kill a deer every season or multiple deer every season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I'll just say I learn tons of new stuff every year, and God willing, that trend will continue because that means I'm out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I've not killed a buck the past 3 years with my bow, but did pass up several shots. Did get one with the rifle last year. Always learning....you'd think I'd be better by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horst Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I have hunted primarily with a bow from the ground for the last 4 years.I find its much more exciting, but its a never ending learning process.I kill deer each year this way but still manage to run off far more then I get in range.Out of dozens of stalks on bigger bucks Ive only managed to kill one.I guesse Im about average, and probably will never reach a point where I feel Im great at this style of hunting.Every scenarios a little different and theres always going to be something you cant forsee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need2hunt Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? If the question was "How lucky are you when it comes to deer hunting" my answer would be very lucky. I've never claimed to be good at it. I've learned alot along the way and I'm not done learning yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bigdog_hunter Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I'd say I'm a meat hunter, and a deer hunter also. First of all, I enjoy being outdoors, but it's always nice having meat in the freezer for the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherBadger Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? I am a Meat Hunter. However, once i get enough to last me a while, i go trophy hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad dryden Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Re: How good are you? Well I would consider me a meat hunter in the early season or towards the end of deer season. But other then that I try and bag a nice buck and pass up everything eles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
