There are so many variables that I'm not sure what trend you're going to buck. It sounds like you're going back to the mid-seventies time period. Good luck with that and have fun. One of these years I'm going to buck the trend your going back to and hunt with a recurve again. But I'll still use my grunt call and a small amount of scent ( to stop them for a shot rather that trying to attract them). I will also continue to use my trail camera because I like getting pics of deer and other wildlife. I've only had the camera for a year and cannot yet claim that it has helped me get a deer. Maybe some day.

Since there is no scoring system in place to see exactly where you stand as a hunter, it is hard to know how much trend you've bucked. If the range was from 0-100, with 0 being dressed in a loin cloth and shooting wooden arrows from a bow made out of a bent limb and 100 being dressed in a total scentcontainment system and shooting space age arrows at 450 fps. I guess I'll strive for around a 50 score. That way I'll be right on the fence ready to jump which ever way public opinion thinks I should.[:-]

The bottom line is, as long as you're hunting legally and ethically, I really don't care how you hunt.Just keep up the good work and have fun.
