I was at the local archery shop yesterday, and the owner of the shop told methat PETA is going after bowhunting in 2008. Hesaid that initially PETA will take their fight to 5 different states, including South Carolina. Naturally this stoked my interest, since I live in Columbia, SC.

He says PETA is well funded and will havea 100 million dollar bugdet for their campaign. Bowhunters are the minority when it comes to deer hunting, and thats why they've decided to attack us. Its very possible for them to petition enough votes to ban bowhunting in many states. Apparently, PETA has video and pictures of living deer that were severely wounded due to poor shot placement with a bow. PETA will use the pics and video in their commercials, as well as anything else they can pull out of a hat.
I don't know how much of this is true, maybe some of you guys that know one way or the other can fill us in on the details. I'm planning on doing some research on this and I'll post whatever I come up with.
