John, the tradition does migrate over time. But the original issue of hunting for food us no longer a valid aspect of hunting from a need standpoint and hasn't been for many years. The food aspect simply is fallacy anymore. It was though the aspect of woodsman ship that the first hunters relied on, which has disappeared more and more with all technology. Technology is typically driven to help, or make easier or more convenient. Often intended, technology takes our any necessity of work or effort. Garbage disposals come to mind. Compounds made it easier, crossbows easier yet, inline muzzleloaders easier and long range rifles easier yet. Not to enhance woodsman ship or outdoor effort or knowledge, just easier. It is what it is, but it's not good and there is always a slippery slope,
