    What makes an expert hunter?

    My question is simple. In your opinion, what makes an expert hunter? Is it number of animals taken? Is it hours in the field? Consistently harvesting trophy animals? Hunting with 3 kids and still getting the job done with a trad bow? The list goes on and on. I am curious as to what you would...
