This is why I save all year for a trip to the Edmonton Bow Zone in Alberta, where I KNOW huge bucks live, and where I have a chance at killing one.

It is easy to assume things about others and throw a negative tone towards their accomplishments to pacify our own fragile egos

For the record, Atlas.....my post had NOTHING to do with "you". I was speaking in general....and I'll stand by every word of it.

Don?
How do you explain the statement on page 132 I mentioned??
Are you ever gonna clear up why you tell people in your book they DO need to sacrifice time from work and family............but then say otherwise here.
Just wondering.

My issue at this time is that people are somehow getting the notion that I promote taking time from family to chase big bucks. I thought my book clearly emphasized the importance of family and friends ABOVE hunting. I started the book with that theme and ended it with that same idea. It is the other things in life, our hobbies if you will, that I am suggesting MAY be preventing SOME hunters from tagging the class of buck that they desire. (also our jobs and financial commitments) Heck I also say that if you are happy with what you are killing then GREAT! it is your life, have fun ... just dont make excuses or belittle others who have made sacrifices in terms of OTHER INTERESTS (not family)to devote more time to hunting.

A non resident MUST have an Outfitter or Host to hunt Canada except a small portion of Ontario I believe.I prefer Alberta because you don't have to worry about drawing a tag like "most" great deer states in the U.S.A. That's Ok, isn't it?

EVERY TIME I enter the woods I'm sacrificing time away from my family. If I wasn't.....I'd be with them.
The lengths we're willing to go to in this endeavor varies VASTLY.
Isn't that the bottom line?
