I'll concede thathe's partly right, archery isn't for the faint of heart. No doubt.However, something tells me that his opinion would change if, instead of Joe Schmoe bowhunting quietly behind Lamp's happy little subdivision - there were 3 wild rednecks back there beyond the edge of the yards,turning it loose with .300 Ultra Magnums, rattling his windows, and scaring the bejesus out of his wife andkids at 6:40 a.m.

Either that, or maybe paying several (increasingly expensive) deductibles per year for smashing deer 3-4xin his new CRV - that could change his whole outlook on things, too. Maybe even total the thing, or blow the airbags in his face...

Maybe Mr. Lamp has never seen a doe mangled in an auto collision with it's intestines hanging out of it's rear end. Maybe it's never crossed his mind that a deer could roll up onto the hood of a Cobalt, and break two of its legs, and actually crawl away from the scene. That's not a pretty scene. Those are the realities of whitetail overpopulation in suburban areas. No denying it. Something's gotta kill 'em - it's either gonna be a hunter or an SUV.

Either way, he's entitled to his opinion.
