BobCo19-65 I think its true, whether a person wants to acknowledge it or not.

There is a correlation between ammount of effort put into something and the ammount of satisfaction gained.

Surely you taught your kids this ? Its the #1 reason rich spoiled kids dont appreciate anything - they didn't earn it. There was no effort put into gaining what they had, it was all given.

A monster buck taken with a rifle on a high fenced pen is something to smile about I guess.

The very same monster buck taken after 4 years of hunting him with a stick bow on heavily hunted public ground ? A whole 'nuther sense of accomplishment, the two can't even be compared though the antlers didn't change.

See what I'm saying ?
