Not to argue - cause I don't see the point, but someone mentioned to me that "it's not about the kill, some people just love to hunt".
That is the exact reason I do hunt. I can back this up with eating my last three Illinois Non-resident tags ($1,200+ worth) - because I would rather eat my tag that kill an immature buck (cause it is as far from "the kill" to me as anything). Ihave most of the bucks that I passed on camera to enjoy themas much as I want by watching the encounters as often as I wish. I get more enjoyment from this than I would killing them. So - in other words - I agree with you.
Why do men climb Everest when they can more easily climb a100 ft.hill in their backyard? Why do some men insist on shooting traditional archery when we have the greatest bow technology in the history of the world? Everyone has a different goal. To me, it's killing big bucks with a bow. To others it's any deer.Theharder the goal, thegreater the reward. Thisistrue of anything really.
Regardless, ask any hunter who has killed "deer" with a bow, and deer with a gun - what was more exciting? I would bet you every cent in my bank account that "bow" will come-out on-top. Anyone want to take me up?
This is my last post on this topic because I've said how I feel and won't get into ayou know what contest over such a non-important topic.
I really don't see any reason why any one here has a point to arguing with Todd on what he says here. Its his opinion and its the way he looks at it, big freaking deal!! Some of you act as its either your way or the highway or the way of the "popular" norm. I respect Todd for what he said here, heck I agree with allot of what he said. Does that make me right or wrong? Nope, just an opinion like the rest of yours all are. All he did was answer the thread honestly in the way he looks at it, not in the way "everyone" else looks at it.
