Hunter or shooter ?

[lpcjon2]

I got to wondering. How many are hunters and how many are just archery shooters?

Edit; shooter meaning you just target or comp shoot-non hunter.

Hunter first.
Shooter second, for fun and fellowship!

Depends on what ya mean by shooter.

In my opinion, you "should" be a shooter prior to being a hunter.

That don't mean ya gotta go to competitions. Just means you need to learn to be a proficient shot before ya hunt.

I guess I'd have to say - I'm a shooter first, and a hunter second, but all my shooting is always in preparation for the hunt.

[GreyGoose]

I agree with you SaltyDawg.  I'd hunt more if I had more time; and I do some varminting that feels more like shooting, but I am a bowhunter.

I'm a shooter so I can be a Hunter.......

[Bonebuster]

All of my shooting is in prep for the hunt.

Fortunately, it is my "thing" to do.

I am a HUNTER/shooter...lol

[JV Rooster]

Hunter and stump shooter.

[PaddyMac]

Definitely hunter. I shoot a lot, but I measure each shot against what would have happened. As in "dead turkey!" OR "laughing turkey"

[RC]

I like to shoot while hunting....RC

[Joeabowhunter]

Hunter....all my shooting is preparation for my next time in the field.

[John Krause]

Good one RC. haha. Met you down at Fort Stewart a few years ago at the place where you get your permits on the base and you were kind enough to come by our camp and give us a few helpful hints on Ft. Stewart.

Thanks

started out just shooting, now I shoot to hunt.

[elknutz]

I shoot only because of hunting.  I really enjoy shooting but when I'm unable to hunt something, the bows will go too.

Both.  Back in the day, I won quite a few local tournaments.  Young fellas are catching up to me now.  I always considered tournament shooting just practice for hunting, however, and always used my hunting equipment.  Never had what I would call a target set up. Still enjoy shooting targets, but hunting is what I live for.

HUNTER

All of the above?    :confused:

[Shedrock]

I am a hunter.

[huskyarcher]

Hunter all the way, cant eat foam

[rastaman]

All of my shooting is to prepare me for my next shot at a live animal!  

[Hoyt]

I'm either hunting or getting ready to go. So for the next 136 days I'm a shooter.
