For a while, I couldn't understand what all the hoopla was about the WHA.

But slowly, very slowly, I began to understand.

At first I didn't think there was abig deal about darting a deer and measuring the rack. But then, I started looking at the big picture. ( I know, you guys had to beat it into my thick skull)

I started to think how the public might view all the glam and glitter of seeing this on TV. Then I realized, it does show hunters with a lack of respect toward the deer. It shows that hunting is all about defeating the deer. It shows hunting as a competition. Hunters just competing against each other for money and prizes. This is not what hunting is about. Its about much more than that.

Just imagine the WHA TV show and what they will show hunting to be like. Now compare it to what really goes on when you and your family or friends get together to hunt. Compare it to when you hunt just by yourself. Its not the same. There's no fence, no big prize, no TV cameras, no hot girls handing you a big check, no spectators, etc...

Hunting is not like that. Its a personal thing shared with family and good friends.
