Your assuming he paid an outfitter some money for the deer? It might surprise you that lots of people walk out the door wearing the clothes that they work in and the required amount of blaze orange depending on where they live, head to the nearest patch of bush and are still successful deer hunters. And no outfitter received a dime. I think it’s a nice picture too!
So, what's the point? You appear to be impugning the character and integrity of a respected member of our community. I'm picturing a barking puppy.
Back to the old Outdoor Life magazines. One thing I find striking is the difference in advertising. The preponderance of advertising in the old issues was hunting, fishing, boating, or camping related. Today, the same magazine advertises drugs to combat erectile dysfunction.
The old magazines had numerous ads promoting outfitting or hunting and fishing lodges. Today, they advertise casinos.
My point would be lots or reminiscing about once upon a time. It’s still here today, more so in some ways them old boys played dress up as well.
My monthly library includes several upland \ English \ African game themes Camouflage is forbidden. They all paint a pretend picture of what my next hunting trip would be like in a 650$ oil skin jacket.
This guy couldn't afford to dress up.
Don't respond to the douche, just put him on ignore.
I used to love the old rags and catalogs, like S.I.R... poured over those pages as a kid... they sparked my imagination about future hunting endeavors, some of which have come to pass... others will likely never come to fruition. I stopped reading outdoor magazines a few years ago when the ads out numbered the content and the same tired writers, were published over and over, regurgitating the same thoughts and ideas.
Dress up? You don't know Cat very well do you? He only changes the hat for Sunday service!
