please read again, i clearly said it undoubtedly requires skill (i'm not a hunter myself but i certainly know how to move quietly in the woods - the bundeswehr is a great teacher at that).
but tell me, how does my own hunting skill have anything to do with my point? especially since i already said several times that it requires skill? it's a stupid argumentum ad hominem from someone who can't make a proper point.
again, athletic abilities required are very low (just look how many hunters are just fat, lazy bastards - would you really call them athletes?), skill is required but the same goes for painting or playing an instrument, competitive - only if you hunt hungry predators...
and just fyi - IF i really had to hunt a deer i'd certainly not approach a glade or a deer pass with the wind in my back, but then again maybe you had no choice depending on where you parked your pickup truck...
Since you have no idea what the hell you're talking about why don't you either give it a try, so that you can actually comment on it, or shut the hell up?
You don't see me talking about quantum physics.
