If his point was "fisherman" equated "hunter" he would have put the word fisherman after troller. He didn't because he was equating fly, spin and troller with types of bows and fisherman with the type of hunter they were. If you can't see that then you probably will not understand this post either.
BigJ - of course I considering trolling fisherman to be Fisherman (although I have never used the phrase before) and I also consider those who pursue deer with a crossbow to be deer HUNTERS.
The point was supposed to be that the skill sets are very different between trolling and casting - but I'm betting you knew that and focused on the semantics to suit your needs.
I'm sure that all who have posted would agree that crossbow hunters are indeed hunters - were we differ is that most do not agree they are
bowhunters.
