Jeff, go find the song "Dreams to Remember". (The Molly Hatchet version) Listen to this, if you care to. Then you may see where I was coming from.

With all the technology flooding our passtime (bowhunting)......who is lookingat new endeavors/challenges/etc.... and explain them.....and "why"?
I am not looking for anyhting, because it's all ready there for me. It's the fact of the Unknown that drives me. Weather I take a long bow, x-bow, or compound I have no idea how the hunt will turn out. I keep coming back, because every year I find out, I really don't know diddle

I am not looking for anything, hunting at it's core is still the same. I can have 5000 dollars of toys, and a twig can ruin it for me, or a breeze that changes directions. I can have the perfect ambush setup, and a yote can bust it up. I can have the best land, and still get skunked.

Germ's post is the first that I can think of on this thread that refers more to "I" than "you" ...I think just about everyone else is too fixed on justifying their performance in the eyes of others. There is only one person in my mirror. What stage of hunter am I? The lovin it stage....hope I never get past that.

RE: Another take on the "stages" of a hunter....
So , for some of the older guys on here to read your post about adding a challenge to your hunting only after 3 yrs is somewhat arrogant to them. Choose to hunt in different ways all you want, noone will bash that, just don't say that you need more of a challenge b/c it sounds like you feel you have mastered something, I m just telling you how it may sound.
If people feel the way you describe.....then I guess I understand why I got the afternoon lecture. If you took it that way.....your read into it. It wasn't my intention.
