I wish I had a dollar for every time I got blasted by that line whenever I speak up against allowing crossbows in bow season, or saying this, that or the other contraption is not in keeping with the spirit of the season and shouldn't be allowed.

So, here are many of the same yayhoos that have clobbered me around with that little witticism - the "if it's legal, then it's fine" crowd and the "we're all hunters and we've got to be unified" crowd and the "we need more hunters to help battle the anti's" crowd - all standing around and griping because now THEY are getting hit about something THEY disagree with, and with the same line THEY like to throw around.

Hey, these are the people you've been WANTING to joing the ranks! Now perhaps you're thinking maybe - just maybe - you were mistaken about a few things? Let me be the first to congratulate you and welcome you to the brotherhood of 'elitists.'
