I want to know what skills are "required" to follow a Hunting Guide around the woods? He's hunting, you're just the shooter.

I want to know what "skills" are required to shoot a cougar out of a tree? The dogs were hunting.... again, you're just the shooter.

I know it takes tremendous "skill" to sit in a tree over a trash can full of donuts and "hunt" bears.

I don't LIKE any of those scenarios..... and I'd prefer to never participate in those practices. But, I'm not gonna stoop so low as to drag folks who do through the mud, or tell them they weren't hunting.

You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......
