Didn't even give the option of being a woodsman....where I come from those don't even apply to most hunters, most are trackers and still hunters.
Some folks think gun hunting is just walking in the woods and shooting stuff. No challenge cause the deer aren't all spooked off the properties and just stand there to be shot. LOL! Just having fun.
I've not found gun hunting to be any diff than archery, just as challenging and rewarding. If the rut is over, it is more difficult to see stuff if you don't beast hunt or have a good food source handy.
I think bow hunting is way easier 90% of my bucks come from bow hunting. In vermont rifle dosnt open until november 16th good luck chasing 1 buck even with a gun over 5,000 acre chunks or more with no pattern, they just cruise the mountains.
Gun hunting involves way more skill and woodsman ship where I live then bow hunting when the deer are patternable.
Not bragging or sounding like a jerk but id put a vermont, new hampshire and maine tracker way above anyone in the united states.
Ive been to nj,, pa,,,mass,,Ohio,,,illinois....ct...maryland...Michigan.....killing deer was easy
Wish all these tv and youtube people would step foot in vermont they would fail
