Thread: Taking the Hunt out of Hunting.

I think the tech has its uses and place. But if you have followed any of my posts, I have often put forth my fears and wishes for it. Mostly in that we use it wisely and with respectable self control.

To paraphrase a favourite author and poem of mine. "if you can use tech, and not make tech your master.''............. Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!"

I consider myself to be very lucky. I can remember a time before the internet (unlike my son), but not so old that it's all scary and unfathomable (like my dad). It's a wonderful tool when used for good.

Initially I had no interest in the internet. resisted it and thought people who spent all their time on it were idiotic. Then I met this older bugger in the middle of the Ruahines, dragging a couple of young guys around. He told me about this thing called a hunting forum where hunters got around and organised hunts and shared stories etc.

Thought that dont sound too bad so went and bought a second hand laptop, worked out how to use it, and found the old forum.

Quite a few people think you have a lot to answer for @Tahr!
