[QUOTE="gat51, post: 3735557, member: 14947"] I like the analysis of barkers, travelers and cutters. I've never thought of like that before. Through experience, I have learned that barkers are a waste of time though. It takes too long to find them and too hard to stalk them for a shot. If I'm done for the morning and hear a barker on the way out, I still can resist putting a stalk on him. From reading this thread I think I've discovered why I miss so many opportunities on travelers. I hunt with a scoped .22 (Savage Mk II) and only like to take head shots to keep the carcass in good condition. I often have a shot but it only lasts for a split second. I think I'm too slow to fire, waiting just a second longer for a better shot. Seems like a traveler never sits still long. I need to learn to squeeze off the shot more quickly. My favorite is the squirrel cutting hickory. Seems like they will have a favorite branch go back to and eat after they have picked the nut. I try to find that spot and line up a clear shot. I'm glad to have found this forum. Such good info here from all of you. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
