Old ways sometimes die hard . You could try explaining to him that he's just as free to hunt the way he wants as you are to hunt your way , but it's unlikely that he'll change . My uncle gave up bow hunting when compounds were introduced because he hated the thought of sharing the woods with them and knew that things would never go back to the way they were . I find that truly sad , he gave up shooting the recurve he loved just because he couldn't accept change . Your BIL sounds the same .
