and its different in setting up a ground blind how? There is chase in all of what we do, albeit in different forms. Moving from stand to stand, woodlot to woodlot, trying to outsmart mr animal.
Not to mention I would much rather people use stands with high tech saftey belts, then climb up tree limbs, standing on branches with nothing more then a hemp woven cord to "break there fall".
I am sure you also have problems with dogs be it bears, cougars, or birds, baiting bears, etc etc. Careful the path you choose as it affects us all!
David, Nice pic man! Looks like it belongs in one of the old bear digests. I do however disagree to some aspect. What we do is personal and to what level we take it is also personal. But what we do is under constant scrutiny of non hunters day in and day out. A picture of a "bowhunter" dress like "rambo" on his weekend/daily "hunt" would I am sure leave a bad view in there heads. Just the other side to the coin I guess. Btw, that leather vest has class, espically by todays "standards"! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>!
