Personally folks can hunt in the manner they like and it doesn't bother me I will tell you this anyone... I mean ANYONE can hunt over a bait station.. " illegal to use here in Virginia" and kill a deer hundreds of yards away with a rifle and scope in a stand. However, Not many are good enough to hit deer running flat out with a shotgun and buckshot. IMO I still hunt as well but it requires a bit more shooting skill with hounds as well as more excitement.
The excitement factor very true. The being a good shotgun shot doesn't seem to matter. I've killed lots of deer running from dogs, off airboats running 50mph. and swamp buggies running wide open. And I'm an average trap and skeet shot, at least at our sporting clays club.
Fenceman, I have deer get away from me sometimes, had a nice buck get away this year. It's always my fault though.
