what is your inner beast while you are out hunting? what instinct drives you to react to situations the way you do? sometimes in certain situations we react in different ways.i can only assume it has something to do with the animal inside us.my inner beast i truly believe to be is the wolf...i instantly go to kill mode when game is spotted,i approach danger with great caution.i love being alone in nature standing at a high place surveying the land...what is your inner beast and why?

Well I would go with the hawk search with patience and swoop in and make the kill,with sight and hearing being my tools to locate prey.  

Stone cold army killer is my inner beast, this beast runs to the sound of the gunfire ( bow strings being drawn in my case ). No emotion, no remorse, and no distractions from the mission at hand.  Make a quick clean kill, with optimum accuracy, and agressive violence of action on target.  Bowhunting limits that last part and is the challenge I love about it all.  

This is a peculiar type of animal that is trained into every combat soldier in the Army.  

I tend to be agressive in my hunting style and prefer to move and find the animals, then lay out a quick field plan and move in for the kill.

I use op order format planning, researching, refining, briefing, supervising, revising, etc..... for my hunts.   Once I am in the field, and on the track, I have a plan, an alternate plan, and all avenues of approach and escape both mine and the animals covered. It allows me to hunt thru an area thoroughly and then move to the next area of high potential.  I am a ground hunter and do not use ambush tactics ( tree standing / ground blinds ) at all.  still hunting and spot and stalk are my tactics.  

It leads me to being rather succesfull at not only finding animals but also making kills.  I put the wife 20 feet front a 6 x 6 bull Elk this year and in the middle of a herd of elk as well.  We also ran into a "tan putty tat" at close range out at the coast.

Ninja owl! Silent killer. Seer of all.

TURTLE! I get in no hurry and things will come in there own time.  

hmmm...im not sure yet, I will have to tap into that next time I go hunting, you gave me alot to think about lol

Mine is an Owl. I'll wait patiently & quietly, from my perch above the trail. More times than not when I strike, my prey will meet their maker in a quick clean manner.    

I just kinda muck along and pick up the good things I find on the way. Sometimes it is what I was looking for. Sometimes... well, the woods are like a box of chocolates.  



Slowslowslowfreeze... STRIKE! Stand there and savor it. Takes a while for it to slide down that long neck and be absorbed into the whole.

Coyote! Why? He's a survivor! Opportunist, stone cold killer and more than a little sneaky.

Not sure. Where I go, you have to really get out and walk to see the deer. I mean, ALL OVER THE PLACE. So pretty much, walk till ya see some deer, get close enough to see if one's a buck or not, if so, try to get closer to shoot, (hard in the open brush), and if it's a doe or you spook the buck, you're SOL and have look some more...

The Weasel, stealthy, warm blooded, opportunistic, always on the move and lethal with precison.  Not as deadly as the Shrew but not as ADD either.

I'm the exact opposite! Maybe like a sloth!  

Not sure but lately in the crunchy snow, my inner beast sounds quite a bit like a gorilla in squeaky shoes.

Inner beast?  Well, it's more than this:





But not quite as tough as this:




Fortunately, I am very secure in my masculinity.    

"inner beast"?      

oh my goodness you guys wax to the poetic. homo sapien's inner beast made it thru wooly mammoths, saber tooth tigers, ice ages, tribal wars by the 1000's.  the species has an inner beast that puts most others species in the shade or at least on the table

I just had to see what you had to say Rusty and... wow! I think of all of the things that have been written(mine included) yours wins hands down.(IMHO)
It never dawned on me(that thing about being stupid and showing it again)..lol Man has put most of the critters being mentioned here on his table fare. He's a survivor and has adapted to each and every situation thrown at him. Enuff is enuff, I'm changing mine!
I am man! I have opposing thumbs and I can and will kill and eat anything else if I'm hungry enough.
God bless,Mudd
PS Thank you Rusty for the words  that slapped my eyes wide open.

My inner beast only shows up if I have Spam and eggs for breakfast.  8^).
