Tell us about the hunters you have known who have exhibited the most pure hunting ability. I mean the ones who don't need to be taken hunting, or really need a PH except for new country/or legal requirement. Folks with exceptional instincts, a high "hunting IQ"...those that teach you how to be better every time you hunt with them. Legendary hunters, if they truly fill the bill, or unknownes like my uncle Tim.
In terms of hunter/writers who have taught me the most--top of the list would be Murray Burnham (of Burnham Bros. Calls fame) in his book, "Murray Burnham's Hunting Secrets." He has probably forgotten more than most will ever know, takes for granted an inherited treasure trove of wood lore and hunting knowledge from his forebears, and can flat hack it in any situation. He once even called a lion into his lap with his game calls--just to see if it would work. HE THINKS LIKE AN ANIMAL. And he has outsmarted some huge old white tail bucks that have survived many an attempt by lesser hunters. Uncanny ability, really.
The forum is now open to the laud of bare ground puma trackers, even indigenous hunters globally, and anyone who has stood you in awe. And your favorite would be...
