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.
Yep I agree, ego's and jealousy Atlas. I was just writing close to the same thing.
My main line was, "The challenge is different for us all, and I hope we can learn to respect each others challenges. In the way he or she chooses to hunt. At the end of the day is not about how hard the challenge was, or how big deer was we shot. It is about the freedom tohunt, and yes it is that simple".
Your above post iswhy I am just done with the bickering. It is not just hunting, it is camo, bows, cars, and our jobs. Like were in a race to prove we're better then everyone else, and we do not care who we run over to get there.
I have to admit it was a very civil thread
