Default RE: Another take on the "stages" of a hunter....

Jeff, Im not telling you that you are wrong for taking up the trad bow, in fact when you posted that you were going to do it I said cool. I still can't believe that this has turned south for all of us. I just stated my opinion about using hunting as a mechanism or fuel to challenge yourself, whether that be gun, bow, knife whatever.. I just believe that hunting is more than just getting fix afor a challenge, it is who we are as men and or women and it connects all of us to our past as early man. You know I teach history and I have to teach about early man andhow hesurvived, which included hunting to stay alive. It is personal I know, but it is wrong to look at hunting soley as a challenge so we can feel we accomplished or overcame a challenge by killing something. For me it is way to connect to that, it is a challenge in itself already, there is nothing wrong broadening your horizons, I commend you for that, but are you hunting for the challenge or are you hunting because it is what stirs you? Do you what you want, use it for a challenge then, I still think it's wrong to use it to meet your goals as a challenge. I do not expect you to change your mind, nor do i want to change your mind. You asked how we felt about it, and I simply told you.
