hunting dogs. Seems like there is still plenty of sport in it.
And that really is the key point here. What do you consider sport? Hunting with a huge group of dogs seems to cross the line for me.
You make a good point with the high powered rifle. But every time I’ve gone deer hunting with a rifle I’ve been skunked. So it seems the deer have a dang good chance of getting away. St least with me! I guess that’s how I’d determine where to draw the line. Do you have a decent chance of not getting an animal? A sport is fun because you can win or lose and you don’t know the outcome. If you are guaranteed a win, it takes away something.
