I think you are missing the point of traditional gear. It is to test your skill as a hunter. There was no insurance back in the day. You either have to kill or starve. Today you just drive to the store and buy a steak. I would not take out both it is just not right.

the reasn i would bring my compound with is for an insurance policy. our trail cam has picked up pics of a nice 8 pointer (his rack is jus as wide as his ears). and if he came by i know i could "probably" make that shot. but i dont wanna make that risk with that nice of a buck when i "know" i can drop him with the compound.
