[QUOTE="StrutNut, post: 1146982, member: 88257"] Other than what was mentioned - Woodsman ship. A great read is Tom Foolery 2000. Its about Turkey hunting but add scent to it and it crosses over to many big game species as well. The secret to me is to be in nature without nature knowing you are there. That is when you see the real magic of whats out there. Learn the aspects of moving silently. How to move and not be seen as well as when to move fast and when to barely move at all. How to control your emotions. Respect. Respect the game, respect the chase, respect other hunters. Like anything else, set realistic expectations and set goals to achieve those. This is a marathon, not a sprint so take your time. Choosing a weapon and practicing is just part of it. Grab a camera and see what you can do in the office season. See how close you can get. See if they know you are there or not. Lastly, and one that is often overlooked, learn how to cook. From BBQ, to grilling, to casual cooking at home. Its one thing to send meat off to a meat market for processing, its a whole other connection when you are processing and preparing your own. We share recipes and ideas. Real hunters know how to prepare what they kill. [/QUOTE]
