No, I would never agree to a blanket statement like that!
I wasn't making a "blanket statement".

Not much effort..is the "hunt" then diminished to "shooting"? By your (or the concensus') opinion?
I thought you didn't like blanket statements?? Read the thread. I summed up what everyone else has said already. I have yet to state my opinion either way

RE: The subjective nature of what is considered "hunting" vs "shooting"
Hunting for me is defined by how I do it. Hunting for a man in Texas/Fla/IA (insert any other region)is probably defined byhow he does it............. although it is probably a lot different than the way I go about things.
There are tactics and methodsthat I would not do simply because I like the way I do it best, not because the otherguy is wrong.That's why it's so enjoyable to me.
It's my way on my time. I only have to be within the rule of law and I have to please nobody but myself in regards to if I sit or stalk; hunt over a feeder or open timber;use a gun or a bow; shoot a spike or a yearlingor a mature buck. It's my choice and that's what makes ALL of "HUNTING" great for me.
I also like to learn and try out new things each year and that's the reason I am on here.

The simple fact is that in many threads lately I have seen comments like "They aren't "hunting"........or "That's more "shooting" then "hunting". These comments can be found in just about EVERY thread that mentions fences, bait, food plots, outfitters, long range rifles, drives, "guaranteed" kills etc. My question was where do YOU draw the line?.......I believe the answer to that question is VERY subjective and many things can be involved in forming that opinion.

To much pondering, really does not matter what people do Atlas or what they call it.
Maybe one day we will learn respect what each other and how they choose to enjoy the outdoors.
