I read about as much of this as I could stand. I got to here (below)
But where is it written that I have to consider it hunting?
You can't be (whether you want to, or not.....nor can anyone else)....the sole arbiter of someone else's hunting experience. Who cares what you (or I...or anyone else) considers hunting? It's for the person experiencing the "hunt" to decide how to view it.
Someone mentioned "elitism". SPOT ON!
Todd....string up your recurve and let's go kill a few deer this fall. Wait....you don't what????
Nevermind.
(now...doesn't THAT sound silly?)
In the eloquent words of Mr. Rush Limbaugh......"Having an opinion, in and of itself, is nothing noble......if your opinion is dead wrong".
