I'm thinking that losing a memory card isn't such a bad thing...
I know cameras have helped millions of hunters, but I still do it the old fashioned way of finding sign, following up on it, and then seeing what transpires when I hunt.
I used to use cameras, but then realized that I was getting frustrated when the deer I was seeing on my pics weren't showing up. I got lost in what hunting meant to me because I had reduced it to a science.
And then one day it dawned on me that my whole hunting experience was SO much better when I used my woodsmanship skills and experience rather than relying on technology to help me hunt.
After all, I don't hunt for a living, and I'm not in a survival situation where the meat is neccessary to live.
I do it because it brings a peace to my soul. I do it for the "hunting experience". I do it to feed that primal instinct that resides inside of most hunters heart...that man against wild challenge.
The cameras were taking away from that experience.
There's just a point of pride to know that I put in the time, and used experience as a guide when I downed this deer.
So I'm thinking that maybe losing a memory card out of a camera isn't always such a bad thing...
