Well now aren't you the "special" one. Can't post a reply on the thread of a topic like the rest of us Remy 15? What's up with that? Guess you feel you have the ultimate response worthy of it's own space on the message board not to be mixed up and convaluted with the lowly responses of other unqualified members? First of all, nobody said inexperienced hunters or beginners were idiots. I do take beginners out to hunt, I do help beginners track, and I do help beginners learn to shoot. What member ever said they weren't "willing to help educate" others? You seem to be a very presumptuous individual. And you mention that if I think there should be a "competency field test" then "get off my butt and make some noise"?...well, I don't think my asking opinions of hundreds of bowhunters is exactly keeping quiet. So what's your point?
