I am not covering anything up here, if the shoe fits then wear it. If it offends some of you here then maybe you shouldn't post on such a forum where varied opinions will be given. I am the last one who thinks that we should all love each other, sing "Kumbaya" together and never take each other to task just because we are supposed to be a fraternity. You can think of hunters who don't butcher their own deer as the epitome of hunters and manhood for all I care. I and others might however have different opinions of it. You see it your way and others will see it their own way.
So do you think it is okay for archers to fight with xbow hunters or traditional MLs to fight with guys using inlines, or the guys in states that prohibit baiting to fight with guys in states that allow baiting. Belittling anyone that does not do something in the hunting world like you do is assinine and detremental to the hunting cause in general. Your arguments are as valid as a shotgun hunter claiming superior hunting skills over a rifleman cause the shotgunner has to have excellent skills to get close enough to harvest his game where as a rifleman can smoke cigs and stink up the area and still snipe an unsuspecting deer 1/4 mile away. That gives me an idea, so called hunters that use rifles from this day forward are not worthy of the name hunter and will now be reffered to as "Snipers". SARCASMS for riflehunters that have gotten into this thread a little late.
Point being you don't have to agree with the methods any legal hunter choses to use to participate just be smart enough to keep you opinions about said hunter to your self because your disparaging comments will go down a road that no one will benefit from in anyway shape or form
