Hunter Height

[Big Stick]

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!

Your post got me thinking today of all my buddies who hunt, and how none of them are over 6'1'' or so. I look forward to seeing your results.

[Bobby Bass]

5-7 mostly blonds.  O hunting, feathered bird huntng..
Grouse, bunnies and yes squirrels. With dogs, Shotguns and .22 rifles.

[Big Stick]

Thanks to everyone that has contributed.  I'm glad to see that people added more to their descriptions in places, I'm always game to listen to a good story.

I'm going to be out practicing my bow tomorrow, but I plan on being back soon.  So keep the info coming.

I have posted this question on more than 20 forums already and plan on having it on as many as possible.  I will try and post some preliminary results this weekend.

Thanks Again!

I can't believe how tall our members are.

I am 5' 10" and right now I really only have time to hunt deer with my gun.  In the future I plan on getting back into other hunting.

Dardevle, not only are you the shortest one so far, you are also the shortest out of over 200 responses including women...hopefully you find humor in this and take no offense.
