Big your point is well taken but consider this ... I NEVER made a claim in this post that I was a "Top notch hunter" ....however I have been deer hunting Alabama and Tennessee for over 20 years ...taken a number of deer with a bow and rifle ...however I always wanted to hunt BIG Whitetail so decided to go to Canada and give it a try .... now the fact that Canada REQUIRES a visiting hunter to hunt with an outfitter ...and a visiting hunter like me has to hire a guide ....does that make me any less of a hunter then I was before I visited Canada? I remember when I was a kid there was a bow hunter by the name of Howard Hill who was a hero of mine ...I watched him on ABC's Wild World of Sports go to Africa and hunt Elephant ...now he paid for that hunt or someone paid for it ...did that make him a "SPORT" or less of a hunter ...I beg to differ ..when he shot that bull elephant with a recurve bow I THOUGHT HE WAS THE GREATEST hunter alive
