Well maybe our whole probelm is what exactly where discussing, because i was under the impression were discussing whether or not hunting animals would make them any less or more likely to attack you. Call it spades or what you will, you haven't proved that in any case.
Im not bragging about anything, i don't comment about much of anything on this board other than offering congratulations to people posting pictures of their kills, anyone around here can tellyou that. As far as having an inflated view of myself, i have no more an inflated view of myself than you do, you were the first to refer to me a 'babe' in the woods (i'm assuming you met baby, and weren't hittinig on me). My whole point to that comment, was i spend an enourmous amount of time in the woods and im far from a newcomer to it.
But your right, this thread is pretty dead and on the off chance you would wish to continue it, feel free to PM me since you have resorted to suggesting your going to physically best me. This isn't just something i read in a book, its something being taught in schools all across the country and people just like me are being paid all over the world to analyze probelms just like this. As far as my dad smacking me for being passoniate about my work, well bring it on Papa
