The question to me really centers on the things that are reasonably addressed.

Comfortable air travel, sat phones, malaria prevention, hot coffee in the morning, cold beer in the afternoon, why wouldn't you embrace these things?

I'm more interested in the questions regarding the manner of the actual hunt.

Unless we are all willing to spear a buffalo (like that guy in the other post) then the line has to be drawn somewhere after the invention of gunpowder, but before the inclusion of technological of commercial assists including camera's, fences, electronic devices, canned hunts, etc., otherwise then yes, we definitely are less than we were, - the thing is to remember that we don't have to be.
