So if you hadn't paid the $500 for the guy to tell you where the big deer were and you came upon the knowledge in another fashion (game warden told you, a friend who had been in the area that summer saw them and told you, etc.) would you have still gone after the deer if you had talked to those hunters? Is it strictly that you paid for the knowledge?
random basis isn't paying $500 for an unfair advantage, there is a difference in paying money for an edge, and working for it - surely you see that ?
No I haven't and like I said if the mossback guys were doing something shady then shame on them.
shady doesn't mean illegal ........ why not allow them to stretch all laws, hell its what they do for a living, tens of thousands of dollars is being exchanged for whoever leads the shooter to that bull - why does it matter if things are stretched ?
because it matters, thats why
Yes, but let's say that a hunter in your shoes (in this scenario) also worked hard, spent time away from family, to make the extra money that earned him this same knowledge...plus he stayed awake for 30hrs straight to get there, paid much larger license fees, had only one shot (the week he was there.... unlike the guys that could hunt off and on for months). Doesn't seem like a lot of inequity there...
thats exactly what I did and I cheated around what hunting really was for horn porn. I did it, and I'm glad those 3 horse back riders brought me back to the reality of what hunting was.
look, the things earned in life are vastly more important than the things bought of given
you buy a 500" bull and it really means you shot a bull you paid a lot of money for, its nothing more than that, its not hunting, and it never will be and because its become SO popular to do it we're losing what hunting really is all about
