Some will nit pick over semantics, absolutely refuse to be moved from their opinion. The same word in different contexts will have different meanings to different people. The fact that multiple definitions apply to a word is ignored. I posted in another thread the definition of hunt from the state law where I live. For myself and those that hunt here that is the definition of hunting and the law, like it or not. An old friend that was a judge would tell you that you have the right to argue your case/point. Then he would rule based on the law as written. Your next option if he ruled against you wasnt based on your opinion but his. The definition of what is or is not hunting is very simple. Hunting and the rules for hunting are what the law in that area require. It really does not matter what myself or anyone else thinks or has to say about it. To enjoy the sport we obey the laws, personal opinion does not change existing law. Hunt what you want, the way you want to hunt as long as within the law. Deer season is a special time of the year for many. Years ago an old friends young grandson killed his first deer from a shooting house on his property. He built the shooting house, planted the green field. Bought the rifle, did everything for that moment. Nothing could have replaced that day with his grandson. No amount of money would have been able to buy those feelings and memories. He is gone now but left memories with that boy that are priceless. Hunt legally the way you are comfortable with. Do not allow me or any other old fart to dictate our opinion to rule your life. I like flint and blackpowder, if you like percussion and triple 7 go for it. I never cared for tree stands, if you do go for it. I fed game for years but never shot deer over bait, if it puts meat on your table an you want to go for it. Myself and guys I grew up with skinned and processed what we killed, if you use a processing place go for it. Not many folks grew up butchering livestock and game. Better to pay someone that knows how than waste an animal. As a kid an old man told me that the things in nature accept you being there more if you are part of it than as rude uninvited company. Took a while as a kid to figure that out, he was right. Go make meat
