BTB [quoteH1 the more I read of your posts the more I am convinced that you are not so much a crossbow supporter as you are simply intent on antagonizing archery hunters ][/quote]

As long as you archers [:-]attack anyone else who wants to hunt a certain way in the public woods, i will call attention to your behavior! Is it not true that you do not want anyone else in your woods when you are hunting and feel that you are the only entitled group to hunt the rut? That small game hunting during your hunting time should be banned? Have i not already heard your argument against all these hunting styles? You won't say your elitists and snobs yet you rail on that only you have earned the rights to hunt during bow/rut! Any other hunting type is for poachers, non-hunters and they are not real archers.Then you tell me when to hunt, raining can;t hunt, might be the only time i vcan get out!!I started w/ a Fred Bear bow 45# recurve and wood arrows, on my own! No one explained what I was doing right and wrong I learned on my own.I knew how far I could shoot humanely even at a young age. I heartily grasped the compund as a more humane way to kill deer because i saw them as a better sighting and faster killing platform.What about that does not describe a Xbow, or is it that you ONLY have the infinite wisdom and sportsman morality to only shoot to the 30 yard line? That is when I get pissed.....it seems only you and livbuks have the capability to monitor your hunting activities and NO one else is smart, sportsmanlike or intelligent enough to say NO to certain hunting situations. We allow you, but not you in the woods on these days! That attitude will not endear the Arch community (which is shrinking) to the hunting community. We need to support each other, share the woods w/ each other and get ready for the fight we have coming. If that is antagonize, so be it.................
