I have read this forum and these topics for quite some time. I have learned a great deal of solid information from my fellow archers out there. I have incorporated a lot of those techniques into my own bowhunting strategies. I have never felt the need to respond up until this story. If "antis" had but one topic to choose from to use as ammunition against hunting this would be it.
My only words in response would be an example of my last bowhunting dilemma. After not finding a doe in the evening I returned to hunt the next morning. I had several opportunities to "take" more animals but passed on all of them. Why? I had a responsibility to find the one I had not found and give it fair chase. I owe that to the animal and the respectability of those in and out of the sport.
