Isn't it great how bowhunting has gotten so easy that people can afford to be that selective about what they shoot? I remember when it was only the rifle hunters who did that.
I was just thinking the same thing. Memories of the good ol' days when any deer harvested by bow was a trophy.
All those debates with Brad (stealthycat,datamax,esspresso feral cat , and whatever other name he used) are finally starting to sink in (scary huh?). I now completelyunderstand what he was getting at.
It would be very interesting to see a five yearstudy done with a group of "QDM"bowhunters ,hunting public land ,banning the use of compound bows , crossbows , and feeding/baiting.Nothing but traditional gear.
My guess is , by the third year we'd see a group of guys hoot'n and holler'n and high five'n the hunter who shot that spike buck. It would definately seperate those who truly love the taste of venison and want meat in the freezer , and those who's only interest is massive head gear.
