I think too much emphasis is placed on numbers, and specifically limits.

exactly. This probably has more to do with all this bitching than anything else. Lots of hunters- old and new- are worried about the bragging rights or the photo at days end. They want to be able to post about or brag about how many they shot. I'm all for getting a limit and making it worth your time and money, but I've had some stellar days with my dog and family/friends when we didn't come close to limiting out. Its all a matter of perspective.

But I sure aint doing it if it starts pissing me off. And like Bourg said, I don't have an exclusive on using the resource. Nor do I let other hunters ruin my day.
