Idiots, Idiots, Idiots
It never ceases to amaze me how many idiots think that there is nothing at all to bowhunting but to get a bow, get some arrows, walk in the woods, and then kill a deer. We've had a new Cabelas store move into the area and suddenly all kinds of idiots are taking up bowhunting and honestly it's quite scarey what these idiots are thinking! They spend hundreds upon hundreds of dollars on all the latest high-tech equipment and buy the most expensive camo and scent-lock type suits and then head out to the timbers to begin their wounding seige on unsuspecting deer. More and more I'm all for having to pass some type of required competency field test before someone can be permitted to bowhunt. These people are going to hurt themselves or someone else, not to mention the amount of deer they are going to wound or not find because they have no clue on how to blood trail an arrowed deer or even how to field dress a deer if they are lucky enough to actually find one. I was lucky when I started and had good friends that helped me but I made sure I had some kind of clue what the hell I was doing before I ever carried a bow into the woods. However, I would not have minded going through a "bow"hunters safety course or something prior to being able to purchase a tag. What do you all think? If you are reading this and you are an idiot...please seek help.
