As a lovely lady, Cathy, used to say, "it's suppose to be fun". Hunting is "suppose to be fun". It's not about ME ... ME >>> ME. It's about the challenge, the game, the fellowship, or the personnal alone time. Which ever way you see it.... "it's suppose to be fun". Today people are shamed with their QDM, my buck is bigger than yours, do it my way or don't do it etc. I honestly remember and hunted and charish the times when the guy who got a deer was honestly congratulated for being in the right place.HE was the rarity. Deer numbers were low. Hunting was a social occasion. Then we went into a time of growing herds, bow hunting etc. Now it all seems to be Growing deer. Today it's not terribly difficult to kill a deer. It's not hard to be in the right place when there are so many. Today it's a land of posted signs, expensive leases and expensive hunting. The fun is fading for most. It's more and more becoming a "ME" or "Macho". I remember the time when we(everyone) went from partridge to deer to snowshoe rabbits to running a spring time trap line. Today it's deer, scouting "MY LEASE", to planting food plots, to "HARVESTING" to MY 150 buck. It's suppose to be fun. I'll soon be hunting snowshoes while some talk of their 180 buck they saw but couldn't harvest. "I owe it all to QDM yada yada yada". It's suppose to be fun. It's not a competition. Oh sure we joke, poke fun, and all that.... but it's all in fun.I think some people should rethink their values. Which is more important. Scouting every night of the summer so I can shoot "THE BIG ONE" or maybe spending some quality time with the family. That can be fun. QDM is ultimately going to be the end of hunting as it should be. "It should be fun". Does this have anything to do with "do we get offended to easily"? Nope, probably not, but it's all in the same zone.
