RE: My "bow only" poll
No way.... I'd sooner give up bow hunting....
Handing back the second amendment would be.... God.... I just can't imagine it... not only from a hunting standpoint but why don't I take up camp with Hanoi Jane Fonda, smoke a doobie and make a t-shirt out of the American flag?
Moreover, I have a hard enough time hitting a duck with a shotgun... I can't imagine trying to kill one with a bow... even I let them light... and ammo is expensive now... but I can't imagine losing arrows left and right like I would.
What deer hunters would not kill with firearms would succomb to disease or speeding motorists.... eventually the gov't would be called in to mass exterminate them.... (thats happening right here in VA now with resident geese).
