LOL! Just KNEW that would get a "rise" from someone!
That said, I VERY Much buy into the "punishment" thing!! Hunted pretty much most of the Western side of our continent, and a handful of times times offshore. Never faced a critter quite so challenging as a "Biggie" Blacktail!! Frustrating? You BETCHA! And Loving Every Minute Of It!!
And of course, there very much are times I "blame it on the genes"!!
