There is something wrong with "hunting" when you can go to EBAY and bid on your choice of gauranteed kill game animals.

I personally thinkwe need to step back and evaluatemuzzleload hunting when your "muzzleloader" is patterned off a Winchester rifle, uses a powder pack, bullets and primers for fire, and is accurate to 250-300 yards

I personally thinkwe need to step back and think aboutbowhunting when your compounds can make you shoot 6" groups at 80-100 yard.

But if I step back ......... no one steps with me.

Human need for easier, better, quicker, faster with less trouble, worry, practice ......... THAT is what hunting has become.

Its not about lets scout for 180 days, build stands, comraderie with the friends and family, train dogs, practice with equipment, hone our skills, and then go out and match our wits against a purely wild animals for weeks of hunting that might end with no tags filled.

No, todays world wants weapons that are super easy to become accurate with. They want ATv's to avoid walking, scouting cameras to avoid having to learn to read good deer sign, fences to avoid having to chase wild deer, mechanical heads to avoid having to fine tune a bow, an EBAY auctioned off elk to avoid having to go to Colorado and chase one, they want big bucks, opening day, as close to gauranteed as you can get.

And someone REALLY thinks they can come here and argue hunting hasn't been corrupted ?


Seriously ?
