Do we or should we? I think that we'd almost have to since techological advances in bullets, powder, cartridges, clothing, optics, etc. are constant. What a writer favored 20,15, or even 10 years ago could long be a second or third choice due to upgrades or essentially new equipment. I mentioned bullets in particular since we as hunters now have an overwhelming choice in them, and its not choosing the right one anymore, its choosing "a" right one out of almost endless possiblities. Things aren't as black and white as the once where. In addition, I am very young (27) in my hunting career and in my 13 or 14 years of deer hunting, I've learned alot. I now wonder what the next 13-14 will teach me <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />. I don't think that gun/hunting writers are any different. I guy goes on their first elk hunt and takes an elk, they have a better grasp on elk hunting to a degree than anyone that has never done it. That same guy goes on several more elk hunts and takes more elk in the process, they get more data to write about and consequently, their opions/views will change. There is so much constant change in the hunting world that changes in viewpoints is unavoidable in my opinion.
