[QUOTE="CAW, post: 3581143, member: 8864"] I just wanted to make a point that there are multiple ways of killing a deer. There is not much difference in the scenario I described and the scenario you described and then referred to as "not hunting", "killing" or "shooting a cow in a field". Regardless of our preferred methods, I think we should support all legal methods of hunting. Everybody has their own style. And for what it's worth, I'm like you. I would much rather set up a stand and use my knowledge of the property to take a specific deer. Last season I had multiple opportunities to take deer going to and from my stand but it just didn't do anything for me, so I passed. And to answer your question - Yes, there are multiple scenarios where the level of skill required to kill an animal varies greatly. Hunting public land with lots of pressure is probably the toughest hunting there is. I did it for over 20 years so I know first hand how tough it is. It most certainly makes you a better hunter and for me, it made me appreciate private land and the opportunities that come with it. Hunting private land can be down right EASY compared to public land hunting, but I would still call it hunting. Not "killing" or "shooting a cow in a field". Now, if you want to discuss fenced in enclosures, that is an entirely different conversation regarding skill depending on the size of the enclosure. But I would still support anyone that wants to do it legally. It's not for me, but I would never put someone down for doing it. It just sounded like you were saying the only method of hunting was your preferred style and I disagree with that. I'm not for illegal road hunting by any means, but I do disagree with the law mentioned in the other thread where simply seeing an animal on your land upon arrival in your vehicle disqualified you from hunting that animal. If my 11 year old son saw a nice buck as we pulled up to our gate and wanted to attempt a stalk, It would be very difficult for me to tell him know. And if he was successful, I would most certainly call it a hunt. Maybe I took your original post the wrong way. If so, my bad. [/QUOTE]
