Define this please.
Google dictionary says:
A person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge or skill in a particular area.
I AM...but not in the area of deer hunting that you may think.
I consider myself an expert on HOW to kill deer with a bow. And not in the way you think.
I mean the MECHANICS of how the Broadhead kills the deer by affecting what organs.
The anatomy of the deer is what I have spent 40 years learning.
In other words, how the arrow/broadhead hit affects the outcome.
Blood trailing, hair color, deer reaction, angles, distance, type of head, ETC.
I have GREAT experience with these things.
Along the journey of learning effective recovery rare I've also learned a lot about deer behavior, habitat, rut, and how to consistently put myself into a position to effectively make kills, at almost any angle the deer body gives me.
And then how to read sign from deer reaction, arrow evidence, blood evidence, etc. to help enable high rate of recovery.
Beyond this, after 325 bow kills personally on whitetails, I'm still learning.
If you enjoy hunting and being successful, I can probably help you a lot, especially if you are relatively new at this.
If you primarily want to kill B/C or P/Y bucks, probably not so much. You should move to a Youtube State (think Iowa, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, to name a few)
The problem with calling yourself an "Expert" is other "experts". Generally they don't like it. I'm not sure why, probably an ego thing, but they tend to really get their hackles up when you start talking with authority. Even if you have the hard evidence (tags) to prove it.
I have never seen this play out more than in deer hunting. I've spoken to absolute NOVICE hunters before who would argue to go after gut shot deer immediately. Even after being SHOWN hard evidence to the contrary.
And this is ONE example.
BSK (an absolute expert in his area of property management) has literally been argued with about factual matters with others who had very little experience on the topic.
There are other examples but y'all get the point.
So when I talk about just about anything concerning deer hunting, remember, I am really good at killing "DEER" with a bow, public, private. But killing big B/C, P/Y bucks, in Tennessee...or the South...well, I'll leave that to the experts!
Also, I am a scorer for B/C, P/Y. But I'm no expert. (I do know one or two though)
