Without reading any of the other posts...

I like todays hi-tech clothing. Easier than ever to stay warm and dry. I like the way the bow companies have stepped it up with the research and development. I like that I can get on the internet and within a short period of time can get myself set up with not only a license from another state, but maps and directions to public land. The list goes on really....

I dislike that the focus has gone from being happy with any buck to having to take a big buck. Sure...we all wanted them back in the day, and still do today, but were mostly just happy to be out and about and thrilled just to take a buck regardless of size. The main focus wasn't on killing a P&Y. Hell...we never even talked about deer scores. IMO, the commercialization andpursuit of big bucks has created a situation where access to good hunting land has dried up in many areas for a lot of regular Joes. I don't like that too much either. It used to be easy to get access...not so much anymore. I also dislike that bow companies have taken all that wonderful R&D that they've done and put too many eggs into the wrong basket. I mean really...How does a 29" bow actually help me? Enough of this...I'm showing my age.
