[I was at a party, and told a friend of mine that I'd be back in the fall woods with a crossbow. Now, I've known and hunted with him for 15 years....he actually turned his head away and would not look at me or talk to me. I ignored his ignorance then, and do so today when faced with it from others.[/quote]

Some friend, hardly worth having, IMO. Wondering what his response would be if you really had to count on his support.
