I may have ruffled some feathers without meaning to here, so if I did I apologize. Somewhere somebody made the comment about the 40 yd thing and I jokingly stated that I can't shoot that good, so lets get that straight first. I in no way was saying that I can do the ping pong thing.

I am not sure what the fresh cow pile thing means, but I definitely don't think it has anything to do with my statements. If we are ashamed of the fact that what we do is kill animals with a bow then where do we stand when asked why. I do not flaunt anything about my bowhunting but when everything does come together and I loose an arrow the plain and simple fact is, I have killed an animal. There are no two ways about it and going on about how the kill means nothing is nothing more than a candy coating over what we do and belittles the fact that we have just taken a life. I love everything about bowhunting and I am sometimes a little unsettled after I have taken a life. Does the kill mean everything? No! Do I have to kill to consider myself successful? No! But I won't lie about the fact that when I am successful, I am happy, thankful and looking forward to the next time.
I have lived and breathed hunting for 25yrs of my life and still love every minute I spend in the woods.
