For me I dont think its how much I care, rather than sharing a common passion, I have learned so much about archery that I did not know, from people on this sight. I realy dont care what ya shoot. I do like to know what the rest of the guys are shooting because once again it a common bond no matter what ya shoot. As most know I have a couple Bowtech's but my brother/best friend shoots Mathews and Hoyt, so we joke and rib each other about how each others bow sucks, although none of em realy suck,...
As far as who kills what, When I see someone else hve good fortune, it inspires me, and it usualy happens when I aint seen no deer or have screwed up a shot and having a "I might as well give it up" pity party.
Now about who is smarter about hunting?....well frankly I think we are all a bunch of dummies who think to highly of our skills..J/K
I think we all can learn off each other. For example what happens if I get the chance to go to Montana to hunt? This southern boy dont know nothing bout hunting Montana, just like my "Yankee Pal" came to visit from New Hampshire, I took him hunting the swamp, though it was a little rougher than he thought, he suprised me with the knowledge he gained from reading posts.....(Dano if you are readin you are still a "wicked cool" wobble head")
