I passed on this thread each time it (thread) it was refreshed. The title turned me off. Tonight, when the thread once again was refreshed, curiosity got the best of me. I quickly perused some of the posts and soon read that a user named “grim” had obviously fired up the thread. So I read several of the posts (all of “grim’s”) to determine a gist of what occurred.

Yes, “grim” does appear to be somewhat ticked off. He does use some hostile sounding language. However, unless I missed it, I did not see where he unnecessarily verbally assaulted any particular person by name.

After reading his posts several times, I was able to identify the core of his messages. What he is saying has merit and is extremely valid. For several years, I too have been recognizing what “grim” irately points out. I also (often) feel the frustration he feels and has strongly expressed. I have to support “grim” and the essence of his messages.

Many aspects of bowhunting has been changing for the worse. I don’t just read it here, I have seen it occurring and growing in the real world. Several times, I too have been only one cup of coffee or one cigarette from just busting out as “grim” has done here.

You may not like what he has said, and it is obvious most do not like the way he has said it, nevertheless, I strongly suggest you take the essence of his messages seriously or you just might wake up one morning to find that your state has banned bowhunting, or severely reduced the season and quota, or banned compound bows.
