I do not think they are mutualy exclusive. From my own humble experience I know for a fact that I am a better hunter, overall, than my son, Joe. He out techs me something aweful and is a better shot. What I do is learn our areas very well so that I can place him in a great situation for the great shots he makes. He knows the deal and just looks my way after finding his kill & says, "thanks dad"! That is when you know you are a good hunter and a fairly good dad to boot. I would not trade that for any techie knowledge but I must admit some of you techsters have enlightened me this past year. Thanks to all.
