As long as we are philosophizing...well heck why Bowhunt? My five years of bowhunting have given me the opine thatmost archers today are a bunch of elitist technocrats with 1200.00 bows and little chance of success if it aint over a water hole or bait station.

I'd rather bear hunt in PA (no bait cans allowed) with my r.i.f.l.e.s. My only experience with bear-ka-bob and bear steak was culinary excellence. Any game is bad if you dont care for it proper.

I think it's counter productive to ask why others do things in forums like this that are here to promotehunting and get us off our big dead .sses and away from American Idol and PacMan.
