Half and half....

Russ, I had a flock walk right up to me, 15 yards, while I was deer hunting in blaze orange.

How many did you get?
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Useful but not necessary.  I've killed more without than with, but I've killed at least one that had me pinned (ran in and stopped about 8', was staring at me until he saw the hen decoy and went into a strut). 
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.
