bait/mineral lick

I believe baiting is unethical. It's not "hunting" if you sit in a tree stand and put out some deer candy.

Did I hit a nerve?

No no    But you come across as very arrogant. So i put a monkey pissing your opinion. Thats all. So carry on with your never used a scope or scent cover , sneaking up on deers and throwing rocks at them methods. To each their own buddy.

The fact is, 99% of "hunters" don't have the skills to actually stalk and hunt game animals. Even the books by "experts" are a big joke, filled with tips on tree stands and ground blinds. They have no idea how to tread quietly through the forest. Nor can they follow animal signs and tracks. It's a lost art, given up to lazy "hunters" who sit in a tree stand and put out a bushel of apples or a salt lick 75 yards away. Then they use their overly powerful super scoped rifle and just wait for the deer to come along. Their success rates reach near 100% every season. My success rate is less than 20%. My success in WA is at 0%. But for me it's about the hunt, the chase, and the thrill of being in the wilderness. I'm a hunter, not a killer.

Sounds like you kinda suck at what you do.  I know plenty of people that dont use bait, tree stands or high powered scoped rifles and have a very high success rate.  Mostly archery hunters who get much closer than 50yds.

I could take a deer every year if I wanted. I have had many in my sights that I could have shot, but didn't. Just knowing that I could have pulled that trigger is enough sometimes. But I won't take every fork horn I come across. Like I said, it's about the hunt, not the kill.
