it is a different road, for sure. One not so well traveled in this day and age. There are still pilgrims, however and more and more are beginning to allow their eyes to see. It isn't better, it isn't worse. It just..... is.
For some, it is not a way to make it more difficult, to do it "the right way", better bragging rights, or to make it more enjoyable or any other descriptor you can assign.
It just.....is.
I don't know why I choose to do it this way. For certain, with compound, shotgun or rifle I would have eaten much more wild game in this life. It is a feeling, a need, it is me. It just.....is.
