Real archers shy from hunting during rain. It makes bloodtrailing difficult and results in loss of animals. A good reason for BTB's idea of archer ed.

other peoples ethics they can and do try to shoot 50,60,70,80 yards with a long,compound,or crossbow
people wound them with trad muzz inlines they wound them with highly powererd mag rifles so that cup
has a hole in the bottom the size of the bottom

i left a buck go last week of archery because he was 33 yds in wind, 15 minutes from dark and a storm coming at 7 pm..

most would have shot at that deer

very true ,i had a hunter i stopped said he missed 6 doe in 2 weeks with muzzleloader he bought the friday before opening of flintlock.he hunted everyday for 2 weeks with his 2 brothers pushing for him.

he said, sproul they were running like heck thru woods when i shot.

unreal isnt it.[:@]



he was proud as h that he saw and missed that many deer.

Since i am color blind a blood trail is useless to me i have always found
every deer i have shot with a bow
Real archers shy from hunting in rain not if you cant see blood can
hit in the kill zone every time and have cofidence you can and will find it
If i am not a Real archer to you to bad it doesnt matter to me what
you think
Archer ed pufffffffffffff i have been out in the ARCHERS woods for decades
I see you are a spinner too

You can surely see blackish drops and spatters in leaves, I hope.

The idea of bowhunter ed is torequire it for new bowhunters, not to drag experienced hunters into a class they don't need.

I've already said that I'm pretty neutral on crossbows but am worried that it is likely to be attractive to people who have not gotten into archery till now because it's NOT easy. If the crossbow winds up attracting people expecting an easy way to archery hunt, those people could probably benefit from mandatory bowhunter ed.

Again,I support bowhunter ed for newbies only, not for existing archery hunters

you are not color blind livbucks black specs in fall color change[&:]
secondly i am getting old enough i dont like to play in the rain
but if it has been raining for 2 days and i see its going to have front move throu and quit raining
at 2 you bet i will be out there and ready by 1230 if that also makes someone not a Real archer so be it
sometimes i can only get out on a rainy day and i want to go i do guess i am not a Real archer
or in your case maybe a TRophy hunter

bowtruck. I hope I didn't offend you? I was just want to understand better, you and others.About the need forlegalizing crossbows. Just trying to get a better veiw from the other side of the fence.

if the present compound hunters change to crossbows, i think they will, we will still have ethical hunters out there with crossbow, thats great.

but, YOU ARE RIGHT, its these new hunters that did not hunt archery because you have to practice with compound, you have to with crossbow too BUT THEY DONT THINK YOU DO [:@]

they think they are gun,scope, pull up and shoot to 50 yds.

trust me, they are making those shots too at deer but not hitting them or wounding them, cant prove that but feel its happening.

if those type of hunters stay out of woods, let crossbows in .
