I'm with all three, with sort of a "Lord of the
Flies" aspect to it, you know, like when
you want to skewer a wild boar and devour
it's still-beating heart whilst beating on your chest,
listening to drum music, dancing 'round the fire in your ghillie.

I guess it must be dinner time.   :D

I think the animal hunted and conditions would dictate the type of hunter I needed to be.

A rutting bull elk might demand an aggressive dog like tracker then cat like stealth to close the distance and raptor like patience for the kill  :)          

Yea all three....

It is a good thing predators aren't as noisy, clumsy, and impatient as I am or they would be very hungry!
I still hunt to my stand (feline), sit (raptor), and when I get restless, I just "sneak around"
for a while (back to feline).
Good thread!

Definitely feline - a grumpy old tom cat to be exact.  LOL

hehe, is your cat a hippie?
mine's not but i've found many a rodent, pigeon and seagull on my frontsteps in the morning!

As for myself, though i do not hunt, the Feline tactic is what appeals the most! Maybe a bit of canine as well   :)

Edit : Nice bow, Howler!

You forgot to add, Reptilian. I rather think of my self as an Eastern Diamondback snake, in perfect camo on the ground poised and ready to attack.

For me...

Primarily a feline... when the terrain permits and when I'm not getting tired.

When tired, I'm afraid my feline style morphs into canine as I speed up and get less interested in noise.

When the woods are just too crunchy (most of the time, I think), it's raptor time.

I've always seen more deer in raptor mode (though not necessarily in range), or in canine mode (though the bits I see are white and bounding away) but I've only killed deer in feline mode.

Primarily a Raptor. I can sit from Dawn to Dusk, if the conditions are right. I can also be a Feline if the conditions are right - stillhunting is an excellent way to hunt.

When hunting alone it's Feline/Raptor for me. Something cool about moving about soooooo slow and quiet (deer hunting) that the tree rats pay you no mind. Then there are times when I "Become The Dog" for others waiting in ambush. But if I HAD to pick just one it would be Feline.
