As an update, I'm still waiting for final say from Admin but I have PM'd back and forth with the OP. He learned to hunt from his dad and likes to hunt. He's in college, obtaining a degree and wanted to do a project on something he likes doing--hunting. For a hunter trying to conduct a survey on hunting for a college project, this would seem like a logical and smart place to go.

I realize that some of you may not want to participate in surveys like this. That's okay, you are not obligated to do so. And some of you may be a little jaded. It's not like our website doesn't get its' share of spam and then some. From what I can tell, however, the OP seems like the real deal and hopefully he chooses to stick around after the survey.

In the meantime, thanks to those of you who put out the welcome mat for another hunter trying to get through college and who wants to stay true to his hunting heritage. Hopefully I hear back from Admin soon. I know I plan on taking the survey.
