[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1025318, member: 50867"] No, I don't lose the thrill of the hunt with today's advanced technical equipment. The "hunt", for me, is finding the game I truly want to take; not just filling a tag with something that qualifies under the rules. That means treking through the woods and over barren hillsides. Peering through a driving rain to locate that buck I jumped just a mile or so back but didn't see soon enough because of the rain or fog. Climbing rock faces and tempting the edges of steep cliffs. Locating and stalking the game to within a distance that matches my ability to make an accurate shot at a unique elevation, angle or weather condition that I must consider when calculating the shot. Which sometimes requires days of patience. For me, the thrill of the hunt is not in the kill, it's in the search. [/QUOTE]
