Maybe, and this is pure speculation,
That true bowhunters hold themselves at a higher level of excellence in hunting... true hunting.... than many "hunters" cannot relate to.
Bowhunting used to be the cream of the crop.
The guys who didn't deal in Yards, but feet
The guys who actually hunted deer like our founding fathers did...
The guys that knew they'd kill a deer worthy of bragging, whether it was a spike or a 14 point, it was your deer.
Not some punk, who embraces the technology of hunting, and acts like a bowhunter, but really doesn't have a clue as to the true nature of a hunt.
I'm a jerk....
And its because I think I'm the best... I hunt with a really piss poor attitude, and I perform at a level that ensures that not only wil I kill a deer, I'll do it in a way that makes other men wish they could accomplish.
I am the cream of the crop...
I am a god darn bowhunter
in my opionion, a bowhunter or a hunter is the same, we all hunt, just because some one has more experience then you or another person dosnt mean they are better, just like a sin is a sin, murdering and lying are both sins, in gods eyes neither one of them are worse then the other, same thing with hunting, know one is better then another person everyone is equal, you might know more but that still dosnt give anyone the right to think they are better then some one else.
Well, in my world, there is a huge difference between myself and a guy who uses a rifle to shoot a deer at 250 yards and call it hunting, and I'm not too religious, nor do I respect religious people.
wether you are hunting at 250 yards or 20 it is still hunting
otherwise you would see it on HUNTING shows
Probably mis-understood, and this quote is a matter of opinion, It is in my opinion that fair chase is negated in rifle hunting, and should not be included as a "hunt".
Putting a stand next to a cornfield and opening a kill range up at 300 yards around you is not to be related to bowhunting by any means.
That animal doesn't have a chance of sensing you, Its not fair chase by any means.....
you havent rifle hunted much have you
and if youre going to say something like that, then how come using a compound is still bowhunting, comparing it to a recurve or longbow?
