So you don' t really like the guy. You think he' s full of bull hockey. You don' t want to hunt the way he does. So why bother getting in a pissing contest with him? You may be wrong about his PAY TO HUNT... hunts. There is a lot to be said for going to some of these exotic far off states that have hoards of Macho Bucks.... and I' m talking bucks with the bodies you' ve never seen in NY. I' ve hunted NY for 50 years.... I know whats there. I' ve seen some midwest deer... they don' t have ' em in NY. True, the guy may be a jerk, a choker, liar, etc etc... but he' s having fun HIS WAY. Me, I wouldn' t pay thousands of dollars to shoot a Macho BOOK Deer, but I' d be willing to pay for lodging, trespass fees and out of state licenses to have the opportunity to see a few of those buggers. It' s an adventure of it' s own. If you' d rather spend the money on the wife at Xmas, that' s good... but don' t be so quick to criticize a venturous wannabee. Me, I get my kicks just being in the woods. I' ll be up to NY the 13-16th for some bowhunting on heavily hunted public land. I have access to several thousand private acres but this trip is for fun with friends in public never never land. Go figure. I' m packing up and leaving to come home the opening AM of the Southern Tier gun season.
