[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 2148001, member: 91402"] Hunting is whatever you make it. Whether it's hunting with a $10,000 long range special, dad's 30-06, granddads 30-30 or an old smoke pole you bought at an antique store. You set the parameters and decide what turns your crank. As long as you aren't breaking any rules, risking the safety of others, or treating animals inhumanely, it's your game and you play it as you like. I happen to like traditional rifles and trying to get close. I'm not desperate for meat to feed the family or another head to hang on the wall. My thrill is getting into sure shot range and deciding if this is the time and place to fill my tag, and more often than not it depends as much on how the day feels or how I feel than on the size of the animal. As you get older atmosphere means as much as results on the ground. If you are young and hungry that may sound weird to you but I am meeting more and more old guys floating in the same boat as me.
