Just on the weekends, and only during deer season seems like "seldom" hunting to me. I wish I could hunt more often but I have to make a living. It's a terrible thing.

I admittedly, put more effort into refining my archery skills than I do guaranteeing that I intercept a mature buck. I love archery and I love hunting.

I truly believe that a person that puts in their time and practice and does everything possible to not wound animals, should use whatever (legal) they find helps put those odds in their favor.

Do you have something against people who choose archery as a recreational sport and never plan to hunt animals? They too can learn alot from bowhunters and we can learn alot from them.
