A small poll among our members. Could you please evaluate your hunting interest according to three basic interests?
What percentage of your total activity?
What percentage, level of interest?
example: LB
A. Big Game-
5% activity, 10% interest
B. Upland game, waterfowl-
10% interest, 5% activity
C. Predator Hunting-
85% interest, 85% activity
Make sense to you? Give it a shot, let's see what we come up with?
Good hunting. LB

Well, let's see if I get the drift...
A. Big Game-
1% interest, 5% activity (usually because my brother comes to visit and makes me take him)
B. Upland game, waterfowl-
5% interest, 5% activity [dove]-(give my lab a much needed break from the back yard)
C. Predator Hunting-
94% interest, 90% activity (and still not enough of it)

A. Big Game
5% interest, 0% time (Saw nearly 400 elk in three days in Colorado with the option of shooting a cow if I wanted. My response? Let's hunt coyotes.)
B. Upland game
0% interest 0% time. (Be real!)
C. Trapping
5% interest 10% time
(Only because it's there to kill a problem when I can't be. Rarely trap for recreation anymore.)
D. Predator calling
90+% of my interest
All my free time. It's more than a job. It's an adventure.
And I won't hunt nothing that can't hunt me back! ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Big game, 60% activity/at the moment 10% interest.
Predator, 40 % and 90%.
Pretty much covers it.

Big game 0% interest .001 % activity
Game birds 0% interest 0% activity
Predators 100% interest 99.999 % activity
The .001% reflects one day chasing mule deer in the last 10 years.

1. Predator calling
90 percent activity if day dreaming counts. Importance? Right up there with four bare feet in a bed, and nothing is more fun than that!

If you call the coyotes in close, you won't NEED a high dollar range finder.

"More volunteers, please."
Leonard,
I'm not really sure I understand your question. 
Also my situation changes all the time, each year has been different, in terms of how I spent my time, and how much "interest" I had in doing it (or whether I was just going through the motions, or just along for the ride).
I'm not sure I can come up with an answer (or that I want to look very hard at the question).

That's okay, K. If you are hinting around for an exemption, based on difficulty, you have it.

Leonard,
Maybe it's some of the other answers that helped to confuse me.
You asked for "total activity". It seems most people took that as "total hunting activities" not a percentage of all activities.
So, I'm not sure of the question (or how to answer it).
I didn't want to look very hard for answers, because I don't like the other questions they might bring me to.
Have I failed because I don't try hard enough (in percentage of total activity, or percentage of interest)?
Maybe.
I did try hard (way too hard), for a long time, now I don't try hard.
If I went back to trying really hard, would my situation improve?
Maybe, maybe not.
Because it's now March, would I be better off finding some other outlet for my interest and my time spent?
Probably.
Should I bother to go back to trying to beat down a brick wall, with my head, in the fall?
Today, I'm finding that (yes) answer hardest of all to find (or to swallow the "no" I come up with).

Big game=0
Predators=20%
Varmints=80%
I would like to hunt more predators but the state kills most of them before I can get to them. Once the state dedicates a lot of money to predator control, they get hard to find.

Krusty,
With all due respect, maybe you just overthink things too much. You're obviously a very bright individual, but this isn't rocket science. Sometimes I think you expend a lot of energy formulating solutions in search of problems.
Your description of the stand you recently offered where you hit but failed to recover the coyote showed me that you've been paying attention. You have the tactics down. You did the job you set out to do, but it just ended in a way you didn't care for. It happens.
As for this question, what do you hunt? Do you go after big game? How much. How much of your hunting season is committed to BG, varmints, predators? Etc.? We don't expect specific figures down to 0.1 percent. Your answers are simply meant to represent your relative fondness and motivation for one form of hunting versus another. My answers aren't exact, as are no one else's who bothered to reply. They just reveal something about the person submitting their numbers and whether they're hard core, as Leonard put it, or multipdisciplined. Kinda lets us share (or validate) what most of us already know about one another.

Interest/Activity
Big Game 20/10
Coyotes 70/90
Trapping 10/0
Had a hard time deciding where watching videos should go Interest or Activity? I own several coyote videos but only one big game video.
Didn't allow anytime for gopher shooting I figure that is recreation, sort like golf. Shoot about 1000 rds a year at gophers. not counting 22 l.r.
