Default SICK of the ELITISM

I just couldn't stand it anymore. The more and more I read, the more disinfranchised I get. There are several current posts stating that gun hunters aren't worthy to be in the woods, hunting with a gun is easy, killing a deer with a gun is a disgrace, etc, etc (paraphrasing). Why do so many have to bash other forms of hunting (be it shotgun, rifle, crossbow, inline, etc.)? Why do some feel they are the ultimate hunter because they use a bow? What make you better than a guy who (heaven forbid) would like to take a gun out to harvest a deer (whether after spending a month hunting with a bow or no time with a bow)?

Yes, everyone has the right to their opinion, but I can't believe the amount of negativity for gun hunters. We bowhunters are not the only ones that love to be in the woods an hunt deer. Why must we bash those that are not as "lucky" to get out in the bow-woods and simply agree that hunting is hunting. Yes there are differences, as well as, similarities in technique, approaches, skill, etc. I just think there should be a little bit more of a united front and keep that 'I am better than you' attitude in you pocket.
