Real Hunters?

[Mike Matteson]

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.

This thread is long in the tooth for a forum where rule #1 is not to discuss ethics.

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.

It's been many years since I saw the video I mentioned above but this may be it for anyone who is interested in the origins of hunting. It is AMAZING!

I've clubbed a badger to death with a rock and a different one with an axe…that qualify? Or did I have to eat them too?

Yeah, why not?

Yeah, why not?

A guy asked me if I ate the rockchuck I shot on FB. I replied "Do you eat mice, flies, or mosquitos you kill?"

Ive never actually slept with any of my Guides. Typically we just hunt. Do you have to pay extra for that?

No they usually throw it in and they love it.
