I'll play some devil's advocate here...
I don't know about you guys, but I'd hunt with a trank gun if it was legal. Personally, I'd really rather enjoy seeing my downed game awaken and return to his natural state. It works for fishing. Not all that much different, really. Besides, it seems a little more challenging than your garden-variety rifle hunt.
I don't really see what the big deal is with all this crying. It's no different than the local sports shop having a big buck contest, except the big bucks are tranked instead of killed. If I was a deer, I know where I'd stand on this issue.
These are not the words of a hunter andI would be ashamed to be on a hunting forum after talking this crap. You are not an outdoorsman or true hunter in my book.
