I agree except for the negative inferences on rifle hunting. My buck I shot at 8-12 yards this year with the bow had no clue I was there, and he wouldn't of cared if I had a rock, rifle, bow, or grenade...I shot him when he thought he was alone.

I bowhunt only for the same reason as alot of you guys, but just don't get alot of the negativity. Oh well, won't really effect me.

Tell your buddy congrats for me.
