Quoted from OL, written by Jim Carmicheal..
Seeings as how you brought this character up, i'll tell you a story.
Long time agoCarmicheal wrote an article all about how he went brn bear hunting around the islands around Kodiak. He went on and on about all the "useless dudes" (my words) that flew around in airplanes, spotted a bear, landedandstalked it. He went on to say this wasn't real hunting ect.. ect.. yada, yada, yada.. (i'mNOT advocateing this)
Then he went on to tell "his" story of how he cruised all around the islands in the "heated comfort" of a large boat with a cabin drinking hot coffee, warm foodect.. spoting them! Then they would take a dingy to shore for the stalk...
Personally, i can't see any difference in these two waysof hunting. The way i see it, one way isn't hunting anymore than the other, and i wrote him and told him so. He wrote me back quite "unhappy" with me thinking he had an easy hunt, and also for telling him "both" the boat and the plane were just transportation and made fora "much easier" hunt.
Anyway, he refused to print my letter, that said he didn't work any harder for his bear than the guy in the plane.
Now, to be honest, the guy in the plane actually worked "harder"!! You can't land just anyplace you want with the plane, unlikehaveing a boat, and sending the hunter off with a dingy and motor to shore every time you see a bear close enough!!
I never thought much of that guy after that, and what he says doesn't go very high on my respect scale..
