To me... guided hunts, bait piles, feeding ( supplimenting ), food plots, orhunting in a fence are tools which can, but not aways, assist us. They are sometimes means to an end. They are no different than the bow, gun, knife, rock, etc.we hold in our hand. Yes, the degree of difficulty will vary for all of us-it should. We were not created equal. When everyone excepts this notion, and realizes it's all about having fun, we willmove forward.

IMO, hunting should never be a competion between you and me. It cannot be, we are all so different. Moreover, the places in which we live are so different. I couldn't possibly know everything there is to know about your home. Likewise, you could not know everything about mine. How could there possibly be a level playing feild?

If you want to call me a shooter for venturing beyond my own backyard and solicting the assistance of others, I guess I'm ok with that. I surly do not know it all and will except info/help wherever I can. It's my way of connecting the dots. It's my way of finding the truth within me (tasting the cake). Hopefully, I'll be an expert at determining what is fun and what isn't-at least for me.
