But Greg.....while I TRULY appreciate that review and comparison......I can't for the life of me figure out anything that would lead me to your conclusion (aptitude of hunters, based on stand choice). Thats weird (to me). You're sort of assigning putting up with discomfortas being synonymous with being a "tough" hunter (I suppose).
Did you feel like that before you bought one?
(just kidding)
Yeah, I actually did... notwithstanding fatsbucknut's point (there'll ALWAYS be that type in any crowd, and I know exactly what you mean...), I think of people like Andre and Adam Hays, Todd Pringnitz, Dan Infalt and a lot of the other guys that just breathe "hardcore" to me... And yes, I'm well aware of ALL their connections to the stand, obviously.
I never said I shouldn't feel that way, and that's why I prefaced it by saying 'admitted prejudices and preconceived notions"... perhaps I shouldn't have even included that last comment in there so as to not take away from anything else I wrote, but it IS true so I thought I'd add it. Heck, we've got to have something to talk about for another 15 days or so!
