Oh, this debate can come up time and again, eh?
I don't know, it's a personal preference I guess. I'd much rather take the time and dedicate myself to learning the patterns and what works and what doesn't with the deer on the property I hunt. Some people's standards are just different than other's. In my mind, it's KILLING, not hunting.
