For me traditional archery hunting is only about one thing. Getting close. Let me say that again, Getting close. Even if I could accurately shoot a deer at 40 yards, that is not what it is all about for me. We hunt for the sport and enjoyment of hunting and not for survival. Therefore I try to be on an equal plane to the animal I am hunting as possible other wise there is no challenge. That's the key word, challenge. I try to avoid as many high tech gadgets as possible. I want the anmimal to use his God given survial senses and instict to see if he can avoid me as a hunter and I want to see if I can out smart the game but with the lease amount of high tech gadgets to see how close I can get and this can't happen if I am far away from the game and over loaded with high tech gadgets. I know it is hard to try to stay on an even plane with the animal you are hunting but the way I look at it the animal doesn't have all the advantages as we humans and since we are only hunting for the sport of it and not for survial then I should try to limit my advantages over each animal as much as possible. So if you are being challenged in this traditonal archery sport of hunting then that is a good thing and you are in my opinion on the right track my friend.
