Todd, you probably weren't around but a few years back snapper and I had this same discussion. He got upset when I said the only skill required to kill a deer on a guided hunt was the ability to make the shot. I dont know how anyone could argue anything else unless you call being able to follow the direction the guide points you a skill.


Yeah to me going on a hunt where someone else has done the scouting, hung the stands, and tells you where to sit each day, is a kinda like when you were 4 years old and your dad would put a cork on your line, tie on a hook, bait it, cast it out, hook a fish and then hand you the pole to reel it in. Fun when I was 4 years old? Sure, but as a grown man I'd find that kinda fishing trip a little condescending and embarrassing. I feel the same about hunting that way too.

The best index to a person’s character is (a) how he treats people who can’t do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can’t fight back.
