Arthur P, I should have stated it a little different. I agree that we can talk open and freely about the equipment issues and difference in hunting methods, and that is fine. But when it starts getting to where it turns into the heated ripping about what I shoot vs. what you shoot, i.e. traditional vs. compound vs. crossbow etc. When we start arguing in a mean spirited way and start causing divisions, then we are battling amongst ourselves as a group instead of battling the other side of the issue. Hope you see what I meant. I just was afraid that that I was seeing the beginning of another ugly thread of my way vs. your way. Those issues can be good when they are played out and discussed in a civil way. but you know as well as I do that sometimes that doesn' t happen on the forums. Human nature I guess. Hope you understand what I was getting at. Just kind of tired of seeing threads where we are on the same side and have to bash each other instead of discussing things politely. We need to save that for antis
