but then you'd be making the case that equipment doesn't make the hunter, the hunter makes the hunter - correct
I guess I am making the case that MANY things can make a hunter.
For some its the equipement and their joy and proficiency in using it.
For some its their HUNTING desire/knowledge and drive.
For some its just great time in the woods.
For some its the all mighty trophy.
For some its meat on the table...........etc. etc.
To say you do one very well, and look down on those that don't do what you do well, is when there is a problem.
Its a long list...........odds are someone is doing something better than you or me.
