Thanks Badshot. It just gets under my skin when someone wants to feel better about themselves by bashing others. I take friends out with rifles to shot a deer over a bait pile. I do this because they dont care to get into bow hunting, and like to take a deer and put in the freezer. It also adds them to the, "friends of hunters list". I like to crawl around with a stick bow and challenge myself. I do it because thats what I like, I never had any intention on changing the hunting world with it, or use it to look down on others. I can only imagine how bent some here get when they see all the big city guys who never practice with any weapon, borrow a rifle and set in an elevated, inclosed blind with a heater and shoot a deer at 150 yards. I bet that really gets under their skin. It saddens me how some bowhunters are trying like hell to kill hunting all together by attacking other hunters over their methoids. If its legal, who cares.
If yall want to really be hunters, in the true meaning of the words "fair chase" (which is such a preverted use of the words by hunters), get out nude and kill a deer with your hands. Any weapon is an unfair advantage. (remember
fair chase ). Camo is an unfair advantage, etc. etc. (wheres the
FAIR CHASEin making yourself invisible to the deer). I just love to see these threads, especially when I hear these guys talk about using scents or decoys on other threads, as well as their modern compound bows.
Ill quit my ranting now.
