EVERY year at Thanksgiving my wife's uncle has to ask me the same question. "Have ya done any hunting yet?" Then after I tell him that I've been out since September he finally remembers that I'm a bow hunter.

I know what you mean! And like you too, my 7 year old knows which ones to let walk and which ones to shoot. Sure, any weekend warrior shotgunner can take a deer running at 60 or 70 yards, but can that same guy take one with a bow at 40 yards, 30 yards, how about 20 yards without getting winded? Probably not. Probably the same group of guys that you are referring too that shoots before/after the proper shooting times, probably the same group that wound a bunch of deer each year that you and I find after the season is over etc...Don't ever defend yourself when you are the ethical, proper deer hunter that spends countless hours on stand and out of stand to be fully prepared to properly manage your area. Hell most weekend warrior shotgunners don't even understand proper management let alone talk smack about all the 4, 6 pointers and fork horns they shoot each year. I hunt with my compound bow ALL year long and you would be surprised at how many times I have been called "Stupid" because I don't bring a shotgun. Remember, ingnorance is as widespread as my next Ohio record book buck that I kill, but I am patient...he will come...just like the morons that hunt 1 week out of the year with a firearm and don't scout, and won't hunt anymore after that last shotgun evening sunset. Remain cool and calm, ignore the idiots comments and be patient...you are doing what is right! And you just have to consider the source of those idiotic comments. Good luck to you!

I am so sick and tired of hearing this from people. You havent killed one yet. Itell them that yes I have a couple does in the freezer from early in the season,But I am looking for a big buck from now on. Some say ohI see. But the ones that make me so disgusted are those that say well look at the pics of the 8 or so deer we killed over gun season and the pics show some nice does and afew small like 4 or 6pointers.Every year if you look for big deer and don't get one they wanna say well you must not have any luck or need to learn how to hunt cause we kill a bunch. Same people when you dodrop a big buck they tell everyone you just got lucky. Makes mejust want to scream at them that my 6 year old would'nt shoot the little can openers that they do.
Sorry just venting. Anyone else go through the same stuff.

RE: NOT YET!!
This is for all you holy bow hunters. I took this little guy a few weeks ago with my recurve. So what you all are telling me is I can get on my high horse and preach to all the compound shooter here as being unethical, less of a hunter, etc. etc. because this guy would have been a heck of a lot easier to take with one of my compounds instead of my stick bows. Will some of you step up and put down your easy compounds and become a real hunter and only shot bucks equal or better than this guy with only trad gear? If not, then I have the right to berate you on your minimal practices by using a simple compound. Heck, I can hold a great group with my compound well past 60 yards. A compound is way to easy.
I hope you all caught my sarcasim in this post. I would never act as such, just pointing out the craziness in threads like this.

RE: NOT YET!!
Berniegoeasily,
Actually you aren't a real hunter anyway. I read about a guy that stangled a buck in his bedroom when he came home to find one there. Unless you hunt via strangulation you're no real hunter.
Now if he had found that deer in bed with his wife that would have called for a stick and string and a video camera.
Top that.
