Hate? Suck? .... Rotten apples?

Serious hunters use serious tools. I use my Ruger and my Dell.

As an aside, and admittedly not familiar with how it is done in SC, but does anyone still hunt on their feet some of the time down that way?

Also admittedly, it is becoming less common here in Pa.

It only took you 13 minutes after you registered to start trying to sell your crap. As I'm writing this, you've made 22 posts, 18 of them have been about the crap you're trying to sell, and for however briefly you're around here I expect that trend to continue.

Selling stuff is why you're here, plain and simple. The "free" portion of your site is nothing more than the coffee pot in the lobby of a used car lot.

What is the serious, hardcore part of all this?

Keeping up with which ticky marks are bucks and which are does as you do a deer survey?

Trying not to trip walking to your stand as you read an email about where your buddies are sitting?

Or maybe dodging the stray rounds that apparently get flung in all directions at people on your hunting club?

And BTW, how's that Ruger holding up in the box blind? Pretty reliable and all that? Controlled feeding pretty important, huh?

I use serious tools too. For instance,

My feet





My bins






My maps



My gear



My company

It's a win/win deal...

On another note, a Dell is FAR from a "serious" tool.

And, yes, I'm afflicted with having to run several.

Suck, +P.

Awesome pictures Greg, that is some wide open space out there. Lovely lady too... you are blessed. Reminds me of the time I got to hoof it around a ranch in Texas. You could see for days. I killed/a fallow deer, a blackbuck, and a nice whitetail buck all in the same morning. Good times.
In the south its a little thicker:



We make food plots and hunt from stands...



we do have some game though...

I like your quote: take a kid hunting... that's cool.

Yea some still hunt on the move, I love to do that too. It is just not very effective way to do it. I've harvested a lot of game that way but you just have to be good at it. I still bet you never know how much game you spook that is within 100 yards.
Tree stand hunting is much more effective.
