Sorry K3, I find your post annoying. If you did not want to offend anyone, you should not of said it. JMHO.
ArmedBear, yes I found it annoying, but more irritating Why bother to say something if you want to say I don't want to offend anyone. I figure, if it is legal and in the hunting regulations as legal, it is hunting. If someone wants to sit in a stand and shoot deer over a feeder,and it is legal, so what. The out come is the same, dead deer.
A few things here, Captain.
1)I never said I didn't want to offend anyone. I don't care if anyone is offended or not.
2) I said I didn't have anything against hunting from a box. I do it myself from time to time. If invited to South Texas to hunt from a blind, I will go. In fact, I'll be sitting in a box in Mississippi in February trying to shoot a deer on a food plot.
3) I just can't call that hunting. There is no challenge whatsoever. I prefer to glass and stalk in the canyon country of West Texas near Sheffield. I have taken many more deer that way than sitting in a box. When I spot a deer half a mile away or more and spend a lot of time and effort to get into shooting position without spooking him, then I have hunted as far as I am concerned.
If I shoot a 140 class buck from a box, I'll be a happy camper. If I have to maneuver to get a shot, I'll be a heckuva lot more proud.
Who would disagree with that?
I do like Art's analogy though.
Whether I hunt or harvest, any deer I take, I have killed.
