Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
The Hunter’s Zodiac: Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
If you’re looking for the guy who’s still glassing a frozen basin at 4:45 PM while the rest of the camp is back at the truck with the heater on, you’ve found the Capricorn. These are the “mountain goats” of the hunting world. For a Capricorn, a hunt isn’t a vacation—it’s a mission. They don’t care if it’s 10 degrees, raining sideways, or a 3,000-foot vertical climb; if there’s a tag in their pocket, they are going to fill it.
The Gritty Pursuit of “My Kinda Living” Hunter
For a Capricorn, the My Kinda Living philosophy is built on one word: Endurance. You aren’t the hunter who needs the flashy social media post or the loudest camouflage. You’re the one who values the tradition of the “long game.” You have a strange, almost masochistic respect for the struggle. To you, a trophy tastes better when you had to bleed a little to get it off the mountain.
You are the hunter who:
A Hunter that Outworks Everyone – You don’t “hope” for a deer; you out-climb and out-sit every other person in the unit.
You’re The Master of Logic – While others are getting emotional because they haven’t seen a legal buck in three days, you’re looking at the map and calmly calculating where the pressure is pushing the herd.
The “Buy Once, Cry Once” Gear Mentality
When it comes to your Budget for Hunting Gear, a Capricorn is the king of the long-term investment. You aren’t interested in the latest “gimmick” gear or the stuff that’s on sale just because it’s trendy. You save up, do the math, and buy the absolute best glass you can afford—usually the kind that comes with a lifetime warranty. You treat your gear like tools, keeping it meticulously maintained and organized. You’d rather have one rugged, dependable rifle than a safe full of “okay” ones.
Why You’re the “Anchor” of the Hunting Party
You might be the quietest deer hunter or elk hunter in the wall tent, but you’re the hunter everyone leans on when things get tough.
The Stoic: When the pack-out is four miles uphill in the dark, the Capricorn doesn’t complain. They just put their head down and start walking.
The Finisher: You are a hunter with the mental discipline to stay in the stand for 12 hours straight without moving. You don’t get bored; you get focused.
A Capricorn doesn’t need luck. They have a plan, they have the gear, and they have more patience than the animal they’re chasing.
“A Capricorn doesn’t climb the mountain to be seen by the world; they climb it so they can see the world—and whatever happens to be walking through it.”
