I truly dont want re-open a squabling(sp) match, (even though this has been very entertaining to read-first thing in the morning- but- to the original post, --times change, animals seem to be more warry of us hunters. I personally feel that being safe, warm and able to enjoy my hunting time, well im going to do whatever i can afford to, to do so. My new hunting partner more then likely will see many changes as he grows up, as so will the rest of us. The most important thing to respect other hunters( for we all need to stick together) and the game in which he will be pursuing. Enjoy!!
