Default RE: Bowhunters' double standard?

I have been hunting them with my front bumper but them critters keep dodging me. When does car season start anyway? I also often think about digging a pit and lining the bottom with pungy sticks. Also I often daydream about smacking a nice buck in the head with a rock, that would be challenging.........

The only reservation I have about crossguns in bow season is the magnitude of people in the woods during an otherwise peaceful time to hunt. I think alot of guys would buy one because it is somewhat easier to master, similar to shooting a gun, and hit the woods. I enjoy bow season for the peaceful time to hunt deer in their normal patterns and habits. I think that the guys who would get a crossgun to bowhunt with were the gun hunters that didn't want to put the time in to master the form needed to accurately take a deer with a bow. Effective range may be similar but the time spent to become proficient cannot be compared, really. I think I would stop short of fighting against it though because at the end of the day we are all the same hunter, just a different tool to do the job. I would adjust I guess.
