"Dumb comment"

Not really, if taken in the context in which Alt said it. He was responding to a question concerningthe inability of some to adapt to HR and concurrent seasons, IIRC?

Within the context which it belongs in, itprobably will taketime before somehunters get over losing the ability tokill spikes andget over being able to see lots of deer on opening day, like they once did. Some never will get over it, hence his comment about it never occuring until that generation that was used to something else, is gone.

Same with his comments about alpha hunters, that gotpeople all het up.

If we want to be honest, we all know some hunters that are muchbetter than we are, by virtue of their ability via acquired skills, time spent in preparation and theirconsistancy in finding deer and killing them on a regular basis.While some of usmight pretend we're the bestwe can be, most are just kidding themselves. I'll never be an alpha hunter, but still do the best I can each year and try to improve upon my meager abilities.

Some prefer to just ignore what he meant and would sooner run their jibbers about the "awful" things Alt said.
