Message: <blockquote data-quote="db-2" data-source="post: 313403" data-attributes="member: 4743">Last night as i drank an old mill at the bar i was visiting with another guy about deer hunting.  He said he no longer hunts due to all the new stuff from the rifles that shoot 500 yards, the bows and he was big time not for trail cameras.  Well if i would get a rifle permit my rifle was made in 1959 so it is not new stuff but my bow is not a recurve.  The true flintlock hunters are the way muzzle hunting should be but if you want to use a single shot rifle, go for it.I said in view of the fact you no longer hunt i do not need you making the rules for how i hunt.  To each their own.It seems every year, after season, someone come with things that need to be change and for the most part the change will fit their personal agenda and not mine.  It is fine the way it is.Yes it has changed.  Now i get pictures from five different cameras on my computer when at one time my home made camera, sending the film away and getting nothing but blowing grass.  Before that no cameras.  Some of the changes has taken away from the thrill of the hunt.  One time i never knew what to expect on those deer drives we would take.  Found out during the drive.My dad was born in 1911.  I believe it was the forties before he could get a license to hunt whitetail.  Have an article that back then it stated there were only 5000 deer in the state with most at the Turtle Mt or in the north east.Deer hunting has come a long ways and i do agree there may be some problems with the way it has come. Since 1998 i have harvested 7 deer with my bow.  I feel i have given more back with all the trees i have planted and the 1000 of dollars spent on seed for food plots for the deer.  My dad in all those years with the farm did not plant food plots for the wildlife.  And my trail cameras have given me countess hours of enjoyment along with the shed hunt.Success does not always mean the kill.  So hunt and fish the way you want but do not force your ideas on me and the way i am able hunt as i will not force my ideas on you and take away your ways.  db</blockquote>
