In your own words,
Why can't you and others understand that I have strong opinions, and i'm not afraid to voice them. I never ever tried to tell anyone to do it my way. I simply said what I like. You all like to label people by calling them a purist/elitist. Nothing could be further from the truth.
I could care less how anybody else hunts. As long as it doesn't affect me in my hunts.
The big difference is...... i'm not bothered by someone not liking how I hunt, but you all have to calling me names, because I don't like your hunting method.
SOOOO, Why can't you understand????
We aren't either so quit taking it personal. you cant say your bustin our chops and then when we do the same to you, you say we are attacking you, more or less.
You put too much into me being that bothered. There is a difference though. I start off by ragging on how you hunt. I get in return comments about me personally. Not my hunting method. I don't think one time anybody has said anything about still hunting.
If I say tree stands and baiting is too easy, and still hunting is more of a challenge. Shouldn't your comeback be about still hunting? I never get that. Instead, I get i'm an elitist, or I probably don't even hunt.
What sort of reaction to you expect me to have?
Anyway, it the grand scheme of life. It's not important as some make it out to be. We're all hunters who use different methods. The problem is, some of you have a tight stick up your butt, and have no sense of humor.
Hunting is not that serious. It's a hobby.
