Arthur P one doesnt go into an archery shop and buy a bow and BAM ! they are mr or miss ethical hunter!

I would agree more if you just stated hunting needs to clean up .

now i hunt with a bow but i don't call myself a "bowhunter" but i also hunt with a crossbow. but i prefer hunting with a rifle.
do i really condemn one for being proud to hunt with a bow? NO!
i get ticked at folks that get a attittude about bowhunting. i am just getting ready to start bowhunting for the year and yes i shoot when i can.
but i take my crossbow to. do i feel bad ? NO!

But we all have our hang ups. i don't like folks that hunt small tracts of gov't land. they never know where the boundrys are as a matter of fact i am going to get warrants for two that i caught trespassing on my leases cause they didnt know where the lines were . it's gonna cost them!
i call them ticks!

If a person hunts with a bow or crossbow it's ok with me . as long as they are good with the weapon. i believe that the two should be combined in season. i also believe that modern firearms seasons should be extended in my state. why ? cause most hunters are through now but folks like me that are hunting for more than just an average deer are still gung ho to hunt and when i see that more than average deer i want the best chance of taking that animal. and IMO that is with a rifle.

but anyway folks should stop pounding thier chests that there method is the best and just fight to keep hunting going.
