RE: Kbacon....was I a sucker?
For what it's worth, you're a stand-up guy! I'd never even think of asking someone off the board to loan me a bow and even if you offered without my asking, I'd politely decline.
You have my respect (which isn't worth $300) but still what you did is amazing. Sorry if this goes bad for you.
I don't think you're a sucker, I think you are still what's trustworthy in this day and age, and the fact that you may have gotten used, by one of the "brotherhood" on this forum is sad. How can we talk of being ethical to animals when some, can't be ethical to our fellow hunters.
