RE: Stand Hunting...
Most of what I posted is fairly tounue in cheek. It just blows me away the type of generalized anti posts on any type of hunting except the way the poster hunts. Things like high fences, crossbows, bait, deer drives, using an outfitter, etc. seem to be the ultimate in poor hunting choices to several and anyone that does any of that type of hunting is a slob hunter and doesn't have the skills to hunt properly.
I personally have never hunted from a stand and to me that seems like a relatively lazy way to hunt. I've seen many shows on TV where people rode up to the stand in an ATV or 4x4 so that's the way it works everywhere right? That seems to be the mentality of most who oppose the types of hunting that they've never tried.
To not stir up any controversy as to whether you have true hunting skills, I think you really would either need to use a homemade bow and arrow or a knife and stalk the animal with bare feet using 100% natural clothing that you made yourself.
