Define "hunt" Todd. Isn't it the act of conducting a search for something? Would you agree in both cases a "hunt" is being conducted? It's the aspect of "accomplishment" stemming from "Aesthetic" that's giving you the snag . For you, certainly one is easier than the other. However, for the paraplegic/the stroke victim/the amputee (to name a few) one provides a controlled safe degree of success whereas the other doesn't. Are you going to deny that individual because his abilities (or lack thereof) aren't yours? Define "trophy" Todd. I'm sure your definition isn't the same as mine. I'm sure your definition isn't exactly the same as anyone's. Once you accept the fact that hunting is loaded with millions of variables you'll be able to move past the clutter. Hunt for you and only you. Let others do the same for themselves.

Anyone care to analyze the variables? I'll start with "time". I have more time than you...time of year...time of day...all the time in the world...time to observe...
