RE: Is techhology good for our sport?
There are times where I think it is getting to be too much. However, I think the better technology has created a new and smarter hunter. This new and smarter hunter can now afford to let smaller bucks pass and take mature bucks. The new technology has allowed to scout better and therefore be better prepared. If the technology was really too much, then how would explain the fact that bigger and bigger deer are always being taken. Also, how would explain the fact that overall heard health continues to increase. The new technology has changed "some" hunters from meat hunters (like I was when I first started) who shoot the first buck to walk pass them, to hunters that enjoy the challenge of chasing a mature buck and taking does for the freezer. There is no doubt in my mind that if it was not for the scouting cameras, ultra quick & quiet bows, advances in stands, food plots as well as any of the other new stuff I left out, that more our hunters would be more than happy to take ANY buck they could, instead of waiting allowing the bucks to mature.
