Real Hunters?

I say anyone who uses game cameras is not a hunter. Why? The camera is doing the hunting.
Well when you are limited time to hunt, an out-of-stater that has paid a high amount of money to get that licenses and tag. Be my guess to waste your time on hoping to see an animal. Your not a hunter, if you haven't hunted man for a year! Each person hunts on his own accord and how he see it.
 
How many of us are really hunters?
With that statement I like to define a true hunter but also no disrespect to the one's that fall out of this category.
A hunter in my opinion is a person that kills to have hunted.
Hunting means one knows everything about his quarry.
Knows its habits, paterns,where it lives and travels.
The hunter than plans and sets up a rendezvous and than hopefully if he is a competent marksman finishes the hunt.

So again no disrespect for people with a limited time frame,disabilities,traveling to far of locations etc.
These people must rely on outfiters and guides to do to a great extent the hunting for them and they become the shooters.

People hunting the fringes of parks,roadhunters ( with the exception of antelope ) game reserves and sanctuaries also don't qualify.
And neither do drones, heat seekers, fish finders. lol

So how many of us are really a full fledged hunters?
Just wondering.

You know, for all I read not to many have tried to define a hunter.

He was just invoking conversation not questioning ethics or techniques.
