What is a dog man?

I think the "lack of ego" is a big factor. I've been blessed to be able to hunt with a LOT of people in many different disciplines of hunting over the past few years. There are many people who like to toot their horn about what they can do and what they've done. There are a select few that dont say a word but just consistently perform at a level that makes you say, "WOW"......

These people are the real deal but in reality they dont get the "fame"....mainly because they don't care anything about it.

They do what they do because it's their passion....it's in their blood....it's who they are....

This is across the board for "dog-men", "marksmen", "archers", and so on.....

There's a saying that goes like so:

"Amateurs practice until they do it right, but professionals practice until they cannot do it wrong."

When looking at the statement above I understand that the level of professionalism they are talking about is EXTREME dedication. The less than one percent of the population that fits this mold are those that are submerged in their passion for the majority of their awake time....constantly training, thinking, focusing, and working in their field.

I've never met a dog person that I felt fit this description. Met one marksman and one preacher that I feel was at this level of dedication for their individual disciplines.....

just what came to my mind when I read "dogman"....

I'm just a rookie with a few pot-lickers who maybe one day can catch a shoat!....maybe one day I'll meet a dog man. One thing's for sure......If you ever meet one....ask questions and soak up as much knowledge as you can....
