sorry Jeff, i had no idea you hunted before the past few years that you started bowhunting....i do remember the original screen name...SBgobblers?? something to that extent i believe...guess i shoulda kinda knew...i guess i do recall you talking of hunting...waterfowl? something...either way, i just thought you kinda dove into hunting recently and never gave anything else a try...

i got absolutely NO problem with what anyone chooses to hunt with...or if they only choose to hunt with a certain weapon. not questioning YOU at all...i was just curious as to...how you know...your mind seems made up and thats GREAT...no problems with that at all.

i just know for me, certain things will ALWAYS be apart of me...i may slowly stray away from the rifle...but i will never put it down or say i'll never carry it to the woods again. sometimes i feel like that...but deep inside of me, i love CERTAIN aspects of it...the flintlock, i'll never give up sucking in smoke from burnt black powder...to me, it may be right up there with bowhunting. im really itchin to get me a hunting pistol..hopefully before next season....and a variety of rifles...and trad bows....i just love hunting. the end
