We as the ultimate hunter on the planet with skills and good sense to having the prey become a prey of our convenience and by appointment. the self accomplishment of taken a trophy animal by stalk and pursue is surely a thing of the past. Give the outfitter the proper fee and you can now fly from the east coast to the mid west on Friday after work go to a furnished heated mini house shoot your 180 point deer by 9 a.m. get on the plane on sunday and be home in 3 hours and all arrangement for the deer taken care of from picking it up in the food plot to mounting. Now we have the latest fad also known as the LONG RANGER now the pry is shot up to 1000 yards away by a team of pros for a substantial fee. I think the next step is to have a forward observer with a lazer beam held on the side of the animal and radio in the GPS to the client a mile away of which time he will get out of bed open the window fire a smart bullet and return to bed and view his kill later in the day.The hunter is something of the past it is now the trophy hunter and paid pro who has all but put a radio collar on the beast. Oh I have become a fan of bison hunters. a poor animal that stands in the middle of a field and some yo yo dressed in a mountain mans outfit is driven out to within 50 yards of him and shoots him with a 45-70 loaded up to 458 mag specs and everyone congrads him on a great feat. the TV shows are not helping us.

I agree with you !
I got rid of the sportsmans channel years ago . Sickening watching these people yap and yap about all these products - and having deer under 24/7/365 surveillance riding their bad boy buggy to the stand etc. . Pimping their wives with more products .
I've always considered having someone "take me" hunting to be so silly .
You are right in that many so called hunters have little to no real hunting skills -they don't scout or figure things out for themselves they pay someone to set up a shot for them.
I know there are many hunters here and probably not many who go to hunting resorts , those type of hunters don't sit and think about hunting like most 'fire members do .
It appears some here think you are pointing a finger at them , I didn't take your post like that .
