bowhunt, I agree with what this post was originally about. Somehow, it got turned into a carrying capacity thread. It always seems the archers are the first one targeting by many. Why? We take a very small percentage of the overall harvest each year. Most who bowhunt also gun hunt. I for one only trophy hunt regardless of gun or bow. I don't see the need or get the satisfaction out of killing a "legal enough" buck. I choose to let them walk. Heck, I didn't even kill a buck last year. Opportunities? Plenty! Just nothing I wanted to take.
Most of the guys yelling about the archers are those who hunt 90% with a gun. I'd be suprised any of these had ever picked up a bow and headed to the woods to truely appreciate hunting.
