Wow, yet another chest thumping thread.
Fran, my question to you is how does turning somebody down from hunting your property (which you worked for and paid for) instantly causing them to have less luck throughout the season? Since when did turning somebody down instantly mean that their season was going to be a bust?
This whole post is a huge joke and partially why I haven't posted as much lately as I use to. With each season that passes I keep seeing more and more chest thumping egos starting up instead of just getting out and enjoying hunting. Why must everybody try to cut down others ways of hunting. One minute it is archers saying that they are superior hunters over rifle hunters, next its public land hunters saying they are superior hunters over private land hunters because it is harder. Baiting vs non-baiting. Deer drives vs stand hunters, ect.. Do you have to cut others down to make yourself feel better and to justify how you hunt? I have seen plenty examples in this post, all the comments about how an archer passes deer just to have your "one day wonder" shoot him with a rifle..... who in the world are you to criticize that hunters knowledge and accomplishments? That guy could have forgot more about deer hunting than you will learn in a lifetime, but you are so quick to judge him simply by his weapon choice. Thats just sad and pathetic.
Here is an idea..... forget what others are doing and just go hunt, trust me, it will be much more enjoyable when you decide to hunt for the enjoyment, not so you can thump your chest and proclaim yourself as the worlds greatest deer hunter, I am pretty sure Jackie Bushman has that locked up anyways
Seriously...Amen. I posted back on page 7 was it? I thought the post could/should have died then. There was a point Quick had to this post originally, and although we may not all agree on it, there was a point. Now this thread is just kind of funny
I get the feeling from many members on here (some of whom are very helpful and otherwise very knowledgable) that they truly think of themselves as maybe not superior, but somehow more respected for being archery-only hunters. It's very sad, since there's a few members on here I would really love to sit down and talk hunting with and get out and do some shooting. But then you wonder if that person really trully has that type of attitude he/she displays online, and then I would rather pass.
