Arthur, thank you for the compliment about being funny. I try to make things amuzing... Disrepectful? You were the one calling me, and countless others,terrible hunters and stupid. I think that called for a little jab. Yes, I think I could teach you quite a bit, just as you could me. Unless the saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks is actually true. No, you didn't mature you just got older, or you wouldn't be on here saying that if people don't hunt exactly like you they are terrible hunters and stupid. I am glad that you learned that you can't hit a barn door at 40 yards and quit trying. I can. I don't see the problem. I would argue that the hit/wounded ration has not increased at all. The numbers may have, but not the ratio. Also, you didn't have things like these forums years ago for people to know of all the animals people shoot and don't recover.

Do you really think that because you have been bowhunting for 50 years you have nothing left to learn? There is no way you are that closed minded. I have been bowhunting for 19 years... how many more years before I know everything so I can quit trying to learn?
