No need for explanation or appology guys. I appreciate the gesture but I know a lot of us are very similar in our thinking with regards to hunting. I did find lots of merit in your arguements and for the most part agreed with the basis. I certainly wouldn' t want to do or use anything that may negatively reflect or hinder my ability to hunt or the season of which I do so. I certainly would be the first to trade off my scoped ML if I felt it was unfair or unjust. As mentioned I would have no problems going to iron or traditional styles if it was not legal to do so.

I love the sport of hunting and spend countless hours promoting all facits of the sport. When people ask me why I hunt it takes me hours to try and explain the reasons for doing so, way at the bottom of the list is the actual harvesting part. I guess that may be why I don' t dwell on the capabilities as much as some, as it really isn' t the be all and end all of what makes up a sucessful hunt to me. Plus i have never found a piece of equipment that made me a better hunter. While it may have helped to make things easier, I truly believe (like Rather Be) it is the experience & knowledge that pay off on a yearly basis not the equipment persay!
