Hunter Height
Big Stick
3/23/09 9:02pm
Just trying to get a little demographic information. If I'm not supposed to do this just let me know.
1. How tall are you.
2. What do you hunt (waterfowl or other).
3. What kind of hunting do you enjoy (bow, shotty, rifle, muzzy).
1. I'm 6'5"
2. I hunt waterfowl, land birds, deer and squirrels. Yes I said squirrels. Hope to hunt some elk, bear and maybe a moose soon.
3. I like to hunt with all four that I had listed.
Thanks to all that reply, I appreciate it. I'm doing some independent research on these topics and couldn't find any good studies that had been done yet.
============================================================
I've posted this on several other forums and a question was asked at one of them that I thought would be useful to everyone.
I am doing this purely as personal interest. I am not tied to any company or group (well I do contribute to PF and DU), but being a tall guy that hunts with mostly guys of normal height, I was curious to see if there were any other gorillas like me out there.
When I'm done collecting enough data, I will make sure to post my findings on each forum that I have joined. I am not asking for anything that is confidential and hope that it makes it easier for members to contribute.
I promise a full computational analysis when I'm done.
Thanks and happy hunting!

I enjoy hunting Mule deer. First choice of weapon is Muzzle loader followed by rifle then bow. I can't wait to draw my rocky mountain goat tag and LE elk. Ducks, doves, pheasant, and rabbit are my upland and waterfowl choices. A few coyotes are no longer gettin fat off of fawn at my bidding. I'm new to hunting the elusive trophy shed antler.
Good luck on you study.
I've done more then my share of outdoor stuff. Lots of overnight hikes.
And I have hunted Elk, M deer, WT deer, bear, coyotes, fox, geese, ducks, pheasant, sharptail, huns, blue grouse, sage grouse, ruffed grouse, franklin grouse, doves, rabbits and squirrels, And that's about it.
I dont know if your study involves women But i'd thought id share my two cents.

43 years old and I hunt mostly waterfowl and turkeys in Arkansas with some deer thrown in with all types of equipment. I hunt elk and or muley's every year somewhere with a rifle. This year I plan to chase speed goats in Wyoming with my best friend who has lived there for years.
I hunt big game, small game, predators and varmints. Weapon of choice is usually a centerfire rifle. Wanting to take the leap to bow and arrow though..
I'm a newbie from the East Coast, figured this would be a good place for my first post. I hunt Whitetails, Turkeys, and Waterfowl. Have been West on 2 Archery Elk hunts but didn't connect on either one. Just being there has got me hooked though, I will be trying to go out every year.
Forgot, archery is my first love, but I will pick up a long gun once in a while.

I hunt deer, elk, turkey, quail, dove, rattlesnakes, predators, and have bear next on the list. I eventually want to hunt moose, and a ram but it's expensive.
I hunt with rifle, bow, and shotgun but woudn't pass up an opportunity to muzzy hunt. Just don't have one.
