I guess I am poor by some hunters standards. I cant afford a lease, guided hunts, four wheelers, and 5th wheels to stay in at camp.
I cherish every minute I get to spend outdoors. When I get a good buck it makes it all the sweeter knowing I put in the legwork. If someone wants to pay someone to do everypart of the hunt but taking the animal, it is their perogative. I dont choose to hunt that way. I also dont pay much heed to the record books(P&Y and B&C). Chuck Adams has taken many record book animals with a guide, that does not make him a great hunter in my book.
My greatest joy is being able to pass on the knoledge I have learned over the years hunting to my children.
