RE: Taking pride in bowhunting
Inever make a distinction between gun and bow hunters, because I grew up around a lot of people that did both, especially after bow hunting really took off in the 1970s. I know that avery few gun huntersmake disparaging remarks about the belief that bow hunters cripple more deer than they killed.I don't think that is fair since most of the bow hunters are very diligentat practicing their marksmanship. On theother hand one canecounter some bow hunters who are pretty vocal that using a gun is lazy or unsportsmanlike.I think that its perfectly fine to be proud of your form of hunting. butwhen you have to put down another style, whether it be bows or guns,to do it, then you are asking for problems.
