I have been thinking about a few things here lately. Which has raised more questions than I ever thought . In general, It's about the hunting industry. We have all these manufactures of hunting gear, right? Is all the latest and greatest Tech really needed to hunt? I understand that some gear needs to be purchased. Now I'm not knocking anyone who has the means to buy all the latest and greatest items, but that rabbit hole can be very deep. So I would think the pockets should be deep as well. So what about those of us who hunt on a budget? Getting by with the basic essentials Is tough. As new stuff floods the market our wants increase. Does the latest and greatest tech really improve our hunting abilities? I'm going to say no. If you think about it, Did the native American Indians, Cavemen, or the primitive tribes around the world go to their local outfitters and purchase the gear needed. No, it was a way of life. They all had to eat feed their families or the communities.
So what's the basic Items needed, I think you would need a way to capture the game , Like snares or traps, a way to kill the game, like bows, spears, guns, ect.
Other than the gear needed, What else does a hunter need? I would say they need the basic skill sets. What are those skill sets? In the early days you had what, three options at best? Those would be, trapping, Still Hunting or Stalk and Hunt, right? Each option needed a set of particular skills.
I'm still new to the Deer Hunting game. I think the basic skills would involve knowing the land and how the Game use it as well as how to use it to your advantage. Understanding how the Game go about their daily life. How and where to set up when Still Hunting. How to effectively Stalk the Game.
So my thoughts are this, If you had to hunt to survive. What would be the strategies That you feel would best serve you in the field. Let me know your thoughts. As this could really help us new hunters improve our own skill sets. Remember this is basic hunting at its core. If you feel I'm wrong in my thought process then please feel free to help me understand better. I'm looking forward to see y'alls input here. Have a great day.
