The hunting tradition is alive and well in my world. We still kill, drive, and aren't all wrapped up in QDM, food plots, racks, baiting, or becoming TV stars. We don't act like an in your face jerk when we kill something and we call it what it is. We hunt, kill and eat. Ourcelebrations are a couple back slaps and we're back at it. We don't measure, pose for the cameras or feel a need to tell everyone "That's what I'm talkin' 'bout". There are no fist pumps or that attitude of "look at me... I am the greatest". We judge a deer by how much meat we get from it. I haven't seen a deer on top of a car in 10 years I suspect. If everyone thinks about it they haven't probably seen them either, or if they did, one or two. I really feel we as hunters areour own worst enemy at times. All these TV shows have made it a side show. Look at Drury's Dream season and the competitions and all that.And all the phony fist pumps and crap like you get from Stan POtts and the like. It became a circus and almost like a soap opera onday time TV. Give me a break. They've taken it about as far from the traditions of hunting as you can get. I don't have to apologize or explain to anyone that wants to give me some flak about it. I hunt, I kill, I eat it. If I can't eat it I don't shoot it. I've been doing it for 56 years in the woods alone. I'll do it as long as I can walk. It's more my tradition and heritage than it is that of a lot of todays Indians. You can't sway the minds of the antis. All you can do is support those with the knowledge and ability to fight them like the NRA, Sierra Club etc. Do what you can like teaching hunter safety classes etc to ensure those who join us do so with honor and with the future of hunting in mind. Go kill something.
