I've always liked the quote attributed to actor Paul Newman; "Why go out for hamburger when you have steak at home?" Of course he was married to beautiful actress Joanne Woodward so I'm not sure his sentiment applies to all...Geo

LOL, HD, have a look at the adverts for hunting trips in Italian magazines. The illustrations leave no doubt as to the intended quarry!

Old age has a lot to do with personal morality. It's easier to be good when the quarry ain't worth the stalk anymore...Geo

Thank you all for your very valuable insights.

Guess I owe a little explanation. The magazine issue for which the column is intended is how do others see us hunters, and I'm going to take on the problem described for a variety of reasons. To be honest, I hold very liberal views on sex, but I can't understand how people can sacrifice the very limited opportunities to hunt for something like that, and it's really damaging to the image of hunting imo. Finally, I have a few personal grudges, as I really don't like it when I arrive with my wife and children at a hunting or fishing lodge and see the residents of the next cabin call in a carload of questionable females. I'd really like to have hunting in Russia perceived as a family affair, and while I don't think a couple of columns could change that, I'm sure gonna try.

Might be that young dogs are more likely to run wild when they are let off the leash.

I am 61. The older I get the easier it is to be good.

Best,

Mike

Boy you like to do the tough ones. When the men go hunting the wives also can go hunting. Happens more than you think. They are safe from me now Iam 71 and just got married in May.Remember you hunters, when the cats away the mice will play. Rich

I didn't marry a mouse. I married a fox.

SRH

Well played, well played.

Exactly, they all turn into a fox when the cat's away. Rich

Good choice.
