I don't even know where to start on this topic!
Some of what you say is true, but most of it is pure B.S.!!!!
I hunt with bow and guns! It amazes me to see the gall that some "elitest" bow hunters that think that all gun hunting is easy!
Also, do you really think that you can do without the gun hunters? Do you really think that anti hunters give a rat's @$$ about what hunting that they can get outlawed? If they are ever successful in outlawing hunting with guns, they will outlaw hunting period!!!!!
Bowhunters need gun hunters, just like rifle and shotgun owners need handgun owners too! We either stick together or we get picked off one group at a time!
Also it is wrong to lump all styles of hunting into one catagory and then label it as wrong.
Different states and different regions have different ways of hunting, that other regions know very little or nothing about, so don't be so quick to label something as wrong! Look at each situation separately. For example, all hunters are not trophy hunters! If we were then the goal of hunting as a game management tool would not work, not enough animals would be taken to keep herd populations in check!
Also all "baiting" is not hunting over a "mountain" of corn! There is such a thing as supplemental feeding!
There is a difference between "high fence hunting" on 200 acres, where the animals are fed from vehicles and come running, not to the sound of a feeder but to the sound of a truck motor!
Hunting a high fenced area of 10,000 to 20,000 acres where the animals are not tame is as challenging as any other hunting! There is lots of room on 10,000 plus acres for wild animals to remain wild! Maybe some city slickers don't understand that 10,000 acres is over 15 square miles of territory!
I don't hunt high fenced areas, I don't have a problem with those who can afford to, as long as it is not hunting a tame animal!
These are just a few examples of how different situations make things totally different than they might appear to be!
So, MOST OF THE TIME, if it is legal, it should be up to the individual to decide on what is ethical for themselves!
Not for an isolated group of self-righteous elitest's to decide!
WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER OR THE ANTI"S WILL PICK US APART!
