I happen to hunt with a crossbow, so I've been intrigued by all the posts on this board by hunters who run down crossbow hunters and consider crossbows as everything from unethical to illegal because they are too "easy" to take a deer with. So I wondered how those bow hunters that talk smack about crossbows would feel about someone dissing their bow kills because they chose to use something even harder...like a spear.

You are exaggerating. How many of those who posted on the crossbow thread actually said unethical and illegal? The gist of the debate on that thread is whether they are truly a bow or essentially a gun, and hence whether they should be allowed during the bow only season or during gun season or their own season.
While you may mock spear hunting, there are some of us in here who hunt mainly for the challenge, and as a result are serious about spear hunting, as crazy as that may sound at first glance. As said in many previous posts, this is not the spear hunting forum (but maybe someday there will be one?) and your thread was appropriately deleted.
Hope everyone enjoys the last few days of the deer season.......
