Well I think answering a good skill we have learned, developed, or that make us a better hunter is a good thing to talk about too.
Being sneaky ties in great when still hunting (I would imagine) and is definitely one skill I am not experienced enough with yet.
If I had to pick one skill that I think makes me a better hunter is my land navigation skills.
I am not sure if this can even be an answer, but it\'s mine.
I got my first compass and topo map at age 5 and learned how to use it in the north maine woods.
I also was never really inside all of my life. I spent most of my time (and still do) playing in the woods.
So here is why I tie this to elk hunting or any hunting. I have met a lot of people who are intimidated by the woods and the unknown. This impacts their hunts and they can\'t put in their all to the hunt.
I do have a gps, but it\'s not my primary nav tool. I just have it.
When I enter the woods, I am confortable. I can spend all day \"losing\" myself in the woods or focusing on the hunt. Not so much worrying about getting out. I\'ve always just had a way with the woods and I think taking that burden off my shoulders makes me better.
