I think its funny how several of you continuing the argument are suddenly pulling out the old "maturity" card.

A mature hunter isn't one who shoots only trophy calibre deer. Heavens no. A mature hunter is one who recognizes that he isn't the only one in the woods. He recognizes the fact that we all hunt for different reasons. He is able to accept this fact and live with it, not preach his way to others. The majority of you have not reached this level of maturity. When and if you do I hope you realize how ridiculous this argument has been.

Personally I don't consider myself either a trophy hunter or a meat hunter. I consider myself a bowhunter. A member of a tradition that has been around for centuries. I consider myself fortunate to be able to share that camp with the rest of you. The sooner you folks realize we're all a part of a community, the sooner you'll be able to enjoy yourselves.
