[QUOTE="Argon Glen, post: 2290100, member: 104643"] Based on your definition one could hunt for a long time before being a hunter. The reason is because when starting out one [very likely] doesn't necessarily know everything about the quarry - habits, patterns, where it lives, where it travels. And do we ever stop learning? Thus never become hunters. Anyway, we'll have to come up with a different term for people in the knowledge development stage. If one meets your definition why can't they travel to far off locations to hunt?? Why must people traveling "rely on outfiters and guides"? I guess I, as a solo hunter, am doing something wrong. Traveling to hunt is necessary for some poeple. For example, where I live there are no Black Bears. How can I hunt them if I don't travel? Or should I miss out simply because of where I live? Maybe I need to move? But then I may not be able to hunt an animal that is here but not where I move to. Oh man, this is getting complex. Why do antelope road hunters get an exemption to qualify as hunters? Aside from me continuing to learn and hone my skills, I feel like I'm a full fledged hunter. Yet maybe I'm really only a poseur. Either way, I'm ok with what I do and how I do it. I guess I can get on board with your stance on drones so far as it is [il]legal since, I believe, that is illegal for some animals in some places. But "heat seekers"? Do you mean thermal scopes? Those are key for night hunting which is legal for some animals in some areas. If you're a full fledged hunter than you'd know there are animals that are best hunted at night. Having said all that, are *you* a full fledged hunter? [/QUOTE]
