Bgh, show me one post I have made questioning the ethics our morals of anyone choosing to hunt an enclosure or go on a guided trip. This is obviously an emotionally driven topic for many of you as you have attributed quotes to me that I have not made. As far as the guided trips I have even said that I would and have gladly gone on a guided fishing trip since I love to catch them but I dont have the same passion for it that I do for deer hunting. I will say it one more time .... I dont care how any one else hunts but guided or fenced deer hunting is not for me and I dont care if it was free. That seems to be the part that is eliciting the venom from others. Why so much effort to change others minds who dont want to hunt that way? I have said that my standards are different I didn't say they were higher or that others were lower because of their chosen method of hunting. I know nothing of elk hunting but that is something I plan on doing in the near future. I know of no one who can teach me in the field so I will probably go on a guided trip when I do. If I love it and it consumes me like deer hunting has then I'll put the effort in to do it on my own since I dont get a lot of satisfaction letting someone else do my hunting for me. I hunted last week with my brother in law and he pointed me to my stands. If I had killed a monster I doubt I would have even had him mounted. I enjoyed being in the woods and seeing a different property but it would not have been the same for me as hunting my own lease. I'm not saying the way I feel is the right way or the only way it is just the way I am. hunting should be a very individual thing done for yourself so as long as its legal why worry what someone else thinks of your chosen method?
