Thanks Davidmil....

I guess it is just the principle of the thing that is eating away at me. These are the same people that remind you to take only ethical shots but at the same time don't mind taking "the back door" into your pocket book. What's that all about???

We hunters can be a sorry lot at times. Addicts we are...slap a little camouflage paint on something and say it is a hunting necessity, we start shaking, our eyes glaze over, the drool starts to flow, and we end up paying 2 or 3 times the cost it would be without it. Some of us don't get to spend as much time hunting as we would like so at times we live vicariously through others. The hunting videos are a prime example. We get to "feel" like we are there when we are unable to get out. Because of our "illness" we are ripe for the picking. It is no secret, we all know it. Like an alcoholic wants the bottle, we will do the most ridiculous things to get our hunting fix.

Perhaps I am just fed up with my own vulnerability. At any rate this is where I draw the line in the sand. Don't pee down my back and tell me it's raining. If I wanted to watch a video I would go look until I found the one I wanted to see, I'm a hunter for goodness sakes, I can find things on my own...<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>
