Hunter Height

Postby Big Stick » Mon Mar 23, 2009 8:37 pm

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!

Welcome to the DHC forum BigStick.

If people want to participate thats up to the individual.

1. 5'11"
2. Deer, Ducks, Turkey, Dove, Upland Birds (pheasant/quail).
3. Bow, rifle, shotgun.

I've always hunted turkey with a shotgun and I don't hunt turkey every spring, haven't tried it with a bow yet and will probably do that next time.

Thanks for the reply Bowhunters. I have this question up on over 20 forum sites and plan on having it up on more than 50 by this weekend. I have a DU banquet coming up, so maybe I can throw some fliers around there too.

Anways, I'll try to post some preliminary results this weekend, and appreciate the help.

Thanks Again!
