Jeff, Im not telling you that you are wrong for taking up the trad bow, in fact when you posted that you were going to do it I said cool. I still can't believe that this has turned south for all of us. I just stated my opinion about using hunting as a mechanism or fuel to challenge yourself, whether that be gun, bow, knife whatever.. I just believe that hunting is more than just getting fix afor a challenge, it is who we are as men and or women and it connects all of us to our past as early man. You know I teach history and I have to teach about early man andhow hesurvived, which included hunting to stay alive. It is personal I know, but it is wrong to look at hunting soley as a challenge so we can feel we accomplished or overcame a challenge by killing something. For me it is way to connect to that, it is a challenge in itself already, there is nothing wrong broadening your horizons, I commend you for that, but are you hunting for the challenge or are you hunting because it is what stirs you? Do you what you want, use it for a challenge then, I still think it's wrong to use it to meet your goals as a challenge. I do not expect you to change your mind, nor do i want to change your mind. You asked how we felt about it, and I simply told you.

I guess Deep Thoughts & Misinterpretations Forum would'nt fit so they just went with Bowhunting Forum for the title. By the way, any one have anything useful on that topic, actual bowhunting? No, oh well maybe tomorrow.;)

RE: Another take on the "stages" of a hunter....
 

No true offense taken VA.. it's just right here..

You made (or I interpretted it as) You were among a different class of hunters as you have been in the woods during changing times.This expirience made you appreciate things differently. While I share some of this belief. I do hunt better bucks, (call it rack hunting, trophy hunting, whatever) for the challenge.

So while we come from similiar backgrounds and home-raisings ;), our goals now have evolved differently. No right or wrong..just different.
