I appreciate all of the feedback in regards to my post. I'm impressed by the different views. I'm seeing alot of preserve hunts on VS here and there. Am I wrong? Usually out of Texas? Something for all of us to think about.

I want the group to know that I appreciate and love hunting very much.Even whenI take a doe not a moment goes by that I don't take a moment to respect hunting and the animal. I do professional video on all my hunts and I do this because "of" the respect I haveand the importance of cherishing my memories.

In 1995 - 1999 I went through a traditional phase and actually harvested deer with osage stick bows with cedar arrows wrapped with sinew and flint heads. I did this because I wanted to step back and experience the hunt with the bare minimum. It truely was the ulitmate challenge to harvest an animal off the knuckle. I'm dropping this blurb inhere just so the group can understand a little about myself and some of the things I have done along the way.

This post has helped me and given me a more clear understanding on what is right.

I am not perfect. And it just goes to show that even accomplished hunters have different thoughts based on their current hunting situtation or beliefs.

I'm 33 now and my day will come.....Anyone up for doing some door knocking in Illinois? Take Care!!
