I would not use it if legal! Here are my reasons:

The challenge would nearly be gone, and that is why I bowhunt. No need to get close, no need to worry about shooting a sharp broadhead, etc. My biggest reason is it would not be a legitimate bowkill. I'd fight tooth and nail, any pending legislation of anything remotely close to what Quick posted.

Nevermind Gr8 - you missed the whole point. I told you to ignore whether it was legal or not. You couldn't seem to get over that hurdle.

Bruce: I got lambasted last year for suggesting that the same tactic should be legalized for hunting whitetails in the U.S. Granted, I didn't call it "green hunting" because I was unfamiliar with the term... I believe the thread was called "Catch and Release Hunting" and all the HNI "inside-the-box thinkers" were peeing themselves with anger and vitriol over the whole thing. No surprise really.

I mean, you see a nice,but still immature buck - you take him down with your sedative arrow, take a few field photos and measurements - have your taxi build you a set of replica antlers to puton the mount. Maybe shoot him again next year.

Isn't that the ultimate in "letting them go so they can grow?" I mean, if it's SUCH a great idea for fish, I don't know how it could possibly be that bad an idea, as applied to mammals.

Funny how I always get labeled as crazy - but then we see these things actually happening (past or present). Amazing how that works. [:-]

Don't worry, Gr8. Not everyone can be this awesome. The world needs balance.

MN/Kyle: You just can't give that type of weapon to the blundering redneckhordes. It's a recipe for disaster. Like giving matches and gasoline to an arsonist.

And from the title I was thinking this would be about making a coating that would increase penetration by reducing drag. You know like the “coating” Clark Griswold sprayed on the sled.

But, if I was dialed in on a once-in-a-lifetime deer. . . like a lot of other people, I'm sure, my opinion may be "subject to change."

LOL!!! Isn't that the truth. I love when Fran starts these threads. Some of these folks get so worked up it's comical.

Keep it up buddy.....This thread is making my day pass rather quickly.

In so doing, my long-term goal is to get a few of you fellas thinking outside the scope of normalcy...

So seriously. If you had one of these "poison pods" that CharlieP is talking about (pretend you're in MS where it'slegal) would you use it? I would. What the heck - live on the edge. I don't think it would affect the authenticity of the hunt at all. Really, how could it?

Seems like one of those things that - after youput it on there, and you realize thatlightning didn't strike you downand devils didn't arise from the deep... It might not be half bad.

I had a girl friend once. Not a girlfriend, but a girl (space) friend.So one night, we're at this houseparty where we drank a bunch of Boone's Farms. Strawberry. Boone'sStrawberry, ifmy memory serves.Anyway, one thing led to another...and right before the point-of-no-returnshe says"Don't worry - it'll only be awkward at first." Ya know what? She was right. Women...

Kyle -If you do this for long enough, you'll make a bad shot and lose one. It sucks.No amount of skill or expertise or practice will stop theinevitable.

Boone's is the Cadillac of bum wines.I was po' in college, Kyle - my fraternity bought Jacob's Best Ice and Keystone by the pallet. We saved the "top shelf stuff" (Boone's Farms, Yuengling, Wild Vines) for formals. "Two Buck Chuck" was still some wide-eyed entrepreneur's pipe dream at that time. [>:]

While we all would wish every fellow hunter would make a killing shot each and every time, sometimes it doesn't happen. Just a fact.

Here's a question I asked myself............what if every state made it a law that absolutely every bowhunter had to use a poison pod or be arrested. Easy answer for me: I'd either continue to hunt as I currently do which would be against that new law OR I'd quit bowhunting!

First of all..........coumadin doesn't make getting stuck with an arrow not hurt........lidocaine perhaps?? [8D]


Wasting the meat due to the absorption of any drugs would mean we were just shooting stuff to kill it..............in my opinion the fact that we eat what we kill will always be our saving grace.

Besides there are already laws against such things.

Cougar Mag... I just contacted Fred Bear on my Ouija board, and here's what he had to say on this topic:
[ul][*]You're hunting animals to kill them - these things can help you do that[*]You're trying to be humane - these things help you achieve and ensurethe utmost in a humane kill[*]People were hunting with poison arrows while you were still a little stain in your momma's undershorts[*]Never question what Fred Bear does. Never. He's always watching. He will get even.[*]Fred Bear has the final say on all matters.[*]This is not a democracy. You will do what Fred Bear tells you to do. No exceptions.[*]Fred Bear is a staunch advocate of performance enhancing drugs on arrows. [/ul]
