Scoring The Other Hunting Stuff
The other hunting stuff.
Some of it is difficult to score,
especially without knowing how it was used.
Our general feeling is that less is more.
A hunter who can go out with only the basic tools
and bring in the venison; may be more skilled.
Not that this other hunting stuff is bad,
but generally the less tools, or the less sophisticated the tools,
the more authentic hunting skill is used.
Feeding is not hunting.
Use this to think about how you hunt.
You may get some new ideas. Some experienced hunters may think this silly, but remember not everyone starts with your experience.
This stuff can contribute to, or take away from your authentic hunting.
There is little difference in some hunting stuff.
The order 'here' is the 'best score'
at the top of a section.

Hunting was first all about the meat, not sport.
After a harvest?
You completely processed the meat.
Field dress & have processed.
Pay for all processing.
Don't care about the meat.
Let's be honest, sometimes it's our skill, and sometimes it's not.
What has created your success?
I use my skills very well.
Mostly my skill and some luck.
About equal skill and luck.
Some skill, more luck.
I was really lucky.
Most of the other hunting stuff is simply
what we choose to use, or not use.
Feeding or repeated baiting,
depends somewhat on how it's done,
but it's not a part of authentic hunting.
I'm sure we've left something out,
