I suppose your beloved Duke Bluedevils BB team still plays for the love of the game and not a multimillion dollar career in the NBA........
Things change Dave....... The love and respect is still there for everyone that I know..... That hasn't changed.
I hunt for mature bucks. That's what I enjoy to do and that's really all I care about. If someone else wants to kill any ole deer...great. I could care less. I used to be one of those guys20 years ago when you were lucky to even see a deer in the woods.There's a lot more deer now where I hunt, so to challenge myself, I hunt for mature bucks. In most cases, it does cost money to hunt these days. Why? Supply and demand. There are more hunters today than there were 20 years ago but the same amount of land. It's unfortunate, but that's the way it is. I'm pretty sure people are having fun hunting. At least I am.
Nice post. Although I disagree with one part. There is a lot less land to hunt today than 20 years ago...... Urban sprawl as well asmany other factors have reduced the amount of huntable land for us.
