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.
