The most useful skill I learned outside of shooting

[Alan]

I'll say physical fitness, hands down. All the gun skills in the world don't help if you're gasping for air after walking 200 yards. Hunting steep terrain, training courses that require movement, even just carrying gear...cardio and strength make everything else possible. I spent years focusing only on shooting and ignored the body that has to do the shooting.

This is true. Now is the time to prep for fall hunts. Time passes quickly. Enjoy while you’re able.

The most useful skill outside of shooting ? Operating heavy equipment and learning the construction business, moving dirt right the FIRST TIME. It made my living, and a good one, for fifty years. All other skills take a back seat to that !
