Battue: I didn't mean to paint all Doctors with a broad brush LOL!I was merely responding to SamO's narrative. I met my new primary care physician the other day for routine checkup....a lovely, intelligent lady who was receptive and curious when I told her my primary recreational activities were hunting, shooting,and bass fishing. So I am not anti-doctor by any means. I have met a lot of great ones and respect their intelligence and professionalism.
I'll save the broad strokes for the fly fishermen and shotgunners
....of which I am "both". But like Scott said, I am first a hunter and fisherman. The tools of the trade are immaterial.
What I find interesting about the approach Paddler advocates ( and he is entitled to his opinion of course), is that he is setting the stage for his own extinction,whether he realizes it or not.
