The inequality between the hunters and the hunted should not be allowed to become excessive."
J
Jose Ortega y Gasset, Spanish philosopher and hunter.
Our tools for the pursuit of wildlife improve faster than we do, and sportsmanship is a voluntary limitation in the use of these armaments. ... Voluntary adherence to an ethical code elevates the self-respect of the sportsman, but it should not be forgotten that voluntary disregard of the code degenerates and depraves him
Aldo Leopold, writer, biologist and outdoorsman. "Sand County Almanac"
No dig intended at the techno geeks who play with all the new stuff as a hobby but, YES, I feel far too many nimrods use technology as a substitute for hunting skills. Way too many of those absolutely do not understand the technology they head out with. They want to buy the technology that will give them the best chance of making a kill without having to invest too much of their precious time and effort into the process.
When that technology fails them, they're lost. Seems far too often, it's the wildlife that pay for those failures.
