Most of us admire and respect Mr. Bear and others, although we'd never attempt some of the shots he did. I don't see any reason for that to change.
Change that to ........ Most of us admire and respect Mr.LBR, Buster T and others, although we'd never attempt some of the shots they did with the equipment they had back then. I don't see any reason for that to change.
If we can say that now ......... can they say that in the future ?
Reason I ask is this ........ you and I think we're pretty ethical bowhunters, right ? We don't take poor shots, we practice, we know our weapons and limitations etc.
You think Fred didn't ?
Maybe we're not giving credit where its due, just like in the future when technology advances, when the demands of society insist on instant killings or 100% recovery rates and sportmen cave to those demands ....... maybe they'll look back and call us unethical shot takers ?
