ORIGINAL: GMMAT My sign? Heck I had your same bow.....lol. Great bow. Would I shoot mechanical from it......and expect them to react the same as a fixed blade BH? No. |

Jeff, did you use mechanicals with your switchback? |
RE: The Kill - Revisited .......

RE: The Kill - Revisited .......
I was wondering if this thread would ever turn back to the original idea behind it? Killing is good. You can't harvest if you don't kill. The deer just won't stand for it. If you are a hunter, you are a killer (no matter what PC term you want to use, it's still killing). OR Maybe we could just clear it up with different terms:
Deer Killer - someone who takes a deer for nothing more than the rack. Deer Harvester - someon who takes a deer for the meat & the rack is a bonus. All In Favor? |

No. You plan your BH choice with "overkill" in mind. I do, too. I just do it with speed and KE. You do it by switching BH types (based on your NEED to do so .....with that setup). EVERY story is told with a different setup being shot. At some point a BH will go through (either partially or directly) an animal's bone (or...it did, that day....with THAT animal). Would I plan my BH choice for that occurrence? Hell no. You would. Good for you.;) You are starting to go in a circle again. Ever think about running for public office? |
RE: The Kill - Revisited .......
I was thinking about it today. The kill is the reason we hunt. Granted that Sitting in a tree is fun and watching the woods come to life in the morning is..We would not be doing it as much if we wernt there to make a kill. Not to hi-jack your thread but, How many people rely on hunting as a source of food? I mean if you didnt hunt you would die of starvation.

RE: The Kill - Revisited .......
16 kills (less than 3 seasons)......16 recoveries and one "unknown". I can live with that.;)
PT..here's aquote I like to refer back to when i see threads like this one. It sums up my thoughts better than I could express them. "The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the descendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter." - Finn Aagard |
RE: The Kill - Revisited .......
The killing is necessary, it dont bother me a bit, i actually am quite fond of it!

RE: The Kill - Revisited .......
Over my years hunting deer, I have shot at 12 deer, harvested 12 deer, and ate 12 deer. I do not harvest more than we will consume. I take from the earth what we will eat and do not go out to shoot animals for the thrill of "killing". Although, when I release the arrow or squeeze the trigger and know the shot is good, there is still that adrenaline rush which adds to the hunt.
