[QUOTE="spyder250, post: 30094, member: 342"] I agree that hunting/fishing technology has gotten a lot better. I would bet to say that some of the older record breaking animals and fish were shot or caught by an older guy that didn't care about scent(probably smoking a cig) or camouflage. Nowadays TV says you need the newest equipment or you are going to get skunked, so that's what guys are doing. As an army guy, I can use a map and compass, can estimate ranges pretty well(golf helps on that too) and as a kid I did catch a 7 pound northern on a snoopy rod. Yes, technology does help, but I would say that it is the same as poker, luck and timing are your best friends when it comes down to it [/QUOTE]
