HOPE hunters vs. Corn pile Watchers

[WDFW-SUX]

I'm not sure how to spell it let alone classify it.  I always thought that was what the master hunter thing was, then I met some of those guys.....(no offense to the program just th e oxymoron of the title versus some of the idiots(NOT EVERYBODY) that get it)

I agree and I am a "master hunter"

I would rather walk and see 10 miles of scenery and no critters than to sit and watch the day go by in the same spot in a tree stand all day long. Even if it offered more animals. It's boring to me to sit in the same place most of the time and that's why.

Call it hope hunting, claim it elitist, call people like me lucky to help your cause. Doesn't matter to me. I've spent plenty of time in the infantry and there were a bunch of tough guys but an equal amount of wimpy ones that wanted more of their mothers teet (*)(*) than to stay in the infantry.

Overall I don't see the connection to where you can begin to claim that people are outright stating that their method is the best method or more successful for anyone but themselves.

Glass hunting with binos requires patience as does someone waiting for some game animal to walk by from their stand. Overall I suspect your rambling rant is really just based upon you drawing too many conclusions from random discussions which may not be true and more likely coincidental interpretations than anything else.

I agree as well, and I am also one. I prefer the term AHE graduate, but I do have a "Master Hunter" patch.

I'm guessing an "eliteist" would mean, the best, on top of their game,etc.? Your whole post, is just amazing......

How do you measure success.  Same way you do a big slong, with a tape measure.  INCHES BABY!

  Why is it when their is an argument among guys this topic always comes up?

I read about 2/3 of this threat and was totaly lost!

What threat?
Why is it when a woman gets in the middle of a mans argument it gets blown out of proportion?

As for scouting. I did plenty this year and despite the fact I didnt hunt one state Id ever hunted in before... i racked up almost 3,000K in taxidermy bills... All fair chase... no fences... no bait.... no hounds....! So I guess Im doing enough scouting buddy. If ya got some hot spots ya wanna share Ill sure go scouting with ya

Putting high fence killing in the same category as bait and hounds sounds kind of eliteist? Or did I miss something?

But wasn't that bear a gimmee? A prayer answered?
Nothing against that, as I always say "Ya can't kill em from the couch".

Yah, keep her out of this Billy.

I ment to say "Thread".  Hit the wrong button.  

You still didn't answer my question.  Why is it everytime guys get into an argument it turns into a size contest?  

[billythekidrock]

I never mentioned anything about size so I have no idea what you are refering to.  Maybe it's the "woman" thing?

[boneaddict]

When you start making conversation about or comparing racks, its basic slang that its a penis measuring contest, sort of like its slang when two women go at it that its a pissin' match. I can only imagine the origin of that comment.  ANyhow, if some body is going to get on here, thumping his chest about how his way is better than my way, the only thing I can do besides ignore him, which is what I usually do, but if in the right frame of mind, start comparing antlers or piles of antlers. ....thus.......the measuring contest is on.  I personally think he probably could have said in simple terms, there are many ways to hunt, and none of them are necessarily better than the other.  It depends on the conditions and the person.  Instead, he started off insulting my way of doing things, putting what I do down, making reference that its all about hope and luck, and I sort of took offense to it.  Therefore I say Post up or shut up.  I'll put my years of success up against his stand hunting any day of the week.  I personally think stand hunting sucks, for the basic reason of what Huntwa said....that and I think it is dumb ass luck, but I sometimes do it for what reason...the conditions warrant it.  I am a hunter, a predator, and you know what...fairly successful at it.  
Holy moly I am going to post before reading what I wrote, so I ought to get into all sorts of trouble with this one.
