No dead animals - no big deal.  If the primary objective is meat, then the grocery store is a much cheaper and simpler alternative.  On the other hand, if the objective is a spectacular journey with a stick and a string, then you're in the right place.

Occasional (or even frequent, if you're lucky and really good) game on the ground is outstanding but so is the pursuit of that game with our chosen gear.

Trab,

Of course you're crazy, but so are the rest of us.  The good news is that there is no more fun way to be crazy - and, as Waylon says, it'll keep you from going insane.
Don't meddle in the affairs of dragons; people are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Yea i'm kinda with you on rapidly making things more challenging. I shot loads of deer with a rifle so I switched to a compound, but after shooting one deer with my hoyt I thought "man this is almost the same as the gun", so I got a bear montana and practiced with it, and I am planning on shooting my first big game with it next year  ;)  .

Good luck to everyone!
