Cougar Mag... I just contacted Fred Bear on my Ouija board, and here's what he had to say on this topic:
[ul][*]You're hunting animals to kill them - these things can help you do that[*]You're trying to be humane - these things help you achieve and ensurethe utmost in a humane kill[*]People were hunting with poison arrows while you were still a little stain in your momma's undershorts[*]Never question what Fred Bear does. Never. He's always watching. He will get even.[*]Fred Bear has the final say on all matters.[*]This is not a democracy. You will do what Fred Bear tells you to do. No exceptions.[*]Fred Bear is a staunch advocate of performance enhancing drugs on arrows. [/ul]
That kinda goes agianst what Fred stood for.
He quit gun hunting and started the bow thing because of the lack of challenge. He would not consider anything that made it easier. He went with bows for the challenge, no other reason.
