Primitive and traditional hunting?

I think we can all appreciate what you're saying jimmy :)

Partially a result of our society. Most of the people on here need to spend our days at a job just so we can pay our bills and feed our families. As a result, time is often the resource that is in shortest supply, thus some of the 'shortcuts' you mentioned. This enables us to still participate in something we love which otherwise might not be possible or practical. Don't get me wrong, I would be all for more primitive in my life, but that dang gas company won't take processed sinew on trade so I'm stuck working for the man lol :D.
And all that said, I would have a hard time giving up my bandsaw (et al), toilet paper, and probably a host of other things if they were suddenly taken away.
zeNBowyer:
Well most people are primitive to various amounts, I'm about 1/2 primitive in that so far I don't think you can beat FG (gasp) for durability on bows, and I like modern contraptions like arrow adapters etc. for practical reasons, but the bow and tackle I use are only a shadow away from what primitive societies used and shooting form etc. is pretty much the same,
if you try to go 100% primitive you're talking about using primitive glues, tools and the like and very few people actually go to that extreme.
Trail cams are fun but makes me wonder if that constitutes fair chase:)
Justin Snyder:
Jimmy, if it makes you feel better, I don't own a trail camera or a game feeder. I do all of my hunting spot and stock, wood bow, wood arrows, stone points, and usually bare feet, although the cactus are hard on the feet. I do wish I had a trail cam. Not for scouting, just to see more cool pictures of the lions tigers and bears. OH MY. ;D Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I like seeing pictures of animals even if they are not really high quality pictures.
As for posting them on a primitive website, we allow discussion of some pretty bizarre stuff in the Anything Else section. Beside, there isn't much primitive about internet and we are having this conversation on the internet. :-\
jimmy:
As I said before, I'm not talking about being and living primitive. I work for a living and have a family, and I still somehow manage to shoot deer with my bow without using electronics. Some of you guys just miss the whole point, but thanks for reading anyway. Just think about what I'm saying. Read the forward sections of the traditional bowyers bibles. Become a better hunter, you don't need the gadgets. Over and out.
