I'm not, I used tree stand as an example. Your summit is safe!
WHHHHHHHHHHHHEWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was thinking nah, LOL and type non
Ummmmm.........OK.
I will fire my laptop up this weekend and send you the stats on the dover bill. We had 750,000 yes votes(from memory), we have about 750,000 hunters. I polled 120 members at our club on sunday. I am sad to say less then have even voted, and ten members voted no.
Could be worse...........less then half of them could have voted. (that was a joke relax)
That is right you do have 1 mount
1 shoulder mount..........and a few from the flesh eating beetle farm. I like the way those come out........very cool to see in action but man do they stink!!
It was with a gun, so not much of a challenge
(That was a joke relax)
That's ok..........he was in bow range
That is kinda what the whole thread is about though germ..........lots of bowhunters view gun kills as less of an accomplishment........and the farther the gun shot gets the stronger that opinion gets.....but that is only a drop in the bucket.
It's no secret that many people view killing deer in certain ways as "less" of an accomplishment (cute way of saying not really "hunting"). Just watch the forum every year and you will see threads slamming gun hunters. I don't think we need to pretend that this mind set doesn't exist. We all know the things that some roll their eyes at and others don't. Could be gun hunting, rifles, treestands, crossbows, food plots, petting zoo suburbs, baiting, fences, drives, outfitters, etc.........doesn't really matter which one you choose there will be people out there that view it as too "easy" or less of an accomplishment or "shooting" not "hunting" No matter how you phrase it the mindset exists and each and every person has a different subjective input.
There is no right or wrong.........just subjective opinion. How could I possibly tell someone who grew up hunting while wandering the open prairie out west that he should view treestands as "hunting"?? or how about the guy who has done nothing but traditional bowhunt his whole life..........can you really fault him if he doesn't see a 300 yard rifle shot as much of a challenge?? Start a thread on baiting or hunting with dogs and you will get more then a few people to chime in that aren't too impressed.
We all know it's all hunting if it's legal and so on....no one is out to vote someone elses rights away........but we all also know that there are probably no people out there that don't hold the above opinion about a certain "way" of hunting and each person has their own subjective reasons for why that is.
All I did was ask where this line is drawn for different people. I thought the results would be interesting.
