According to Dr. Robert Jackson and Dr. Robert Norton's study in the 70's, a hunter pass through five stages:
- Shooter stage;
- Limiting-Out stage;
- Trophy stage;
- Method stage;
- Sportsman stage.
Regarding the last one mentioned above, it is a stage where the hunter focus on the whole hunting experience itself. Preparing his gear, planning the best spots to hide, enjoying an outdoors life, share this experience with friends and family. In the end, it is about enjoying the hunting ritual.
