Fair enough, then, bigcountry.

Here's something I've never swayed from.....

I think it's ALWAYS a good idea to get a hunter's "feet wet" by actually putting something ON THE GROUND. I used to hear stories of people "passing" on this deer and that deer and think everything was at face value. NOW....I KNOW that there's MUCH more to it than that. Whwnever I see someone say "I didn't shoot" so and so deer, last night....I subconsciously put an "at" on that phrase.

You could build a city in the distance between "passing" and actually putting an animal on the ground. I'll always believe that.

Good luck.
