RE: Newest & Most Dangerous Threat To Bowhunting
The threat is real! We are being attacked on all fronts, Bow, gun, spear and slingshot! I'm not kidding Try walking on a WLMA with a 6 or 7 foot spear and see what happens! "You can't hunt with that, we have no regulations for it, but you can't hunt with it here."

Do any of you realistically see your state's F&G dept. giving up bow hunting revenue or any facet of their ability to manage the herd ?
HSUS may be well funded and organized , but that doesn't mean that they will be unbeatable . They lose court challenges more often than they win in cases where they try to stop hunts , and spend ridiculous amounts of money each time . Let 'em pop off , they'll just waste even more money .

What a joke
I am lucky enough to live in New Zealand, Where we can hunt all year round. We do not have the choice of game like the states etc. But I bow hunt, and in my experience when I shoot an animal with my bow it takes less time to drop and die than the guys with guns that I hunt with. How can a gun be more human in this case?

We cant take our hunting rights for granted any longer....there are folks that have a twisted veiw of man and animals relationships. It is law abiding hunters that have kept different species holding on [with Game management] , and not the Animal Rights Organizations.

Money talks, and none of the tree huggers put a dime into state coffers. IIRC archery tags are an additional expense OVER the cost of the general hunting license in many states (and bonus tags, etc.). I'd venture to guess that many of those taggers only bowhunt. no taggers, no income at all from that group. No state is that willing to throw away money in this day and age. At least I hope so.

We lost the spring bear hunt here in Ontario a couple years ago. They certainly had a part in that. We also have some high population regions in southern Ontario, and I certainly hope that our ministry of Natural resources defends bowhunting if the humane society starts putting pressure up here.
I'd like to take humane society folks for a tour of and abatoir, and then ask them which practice, bowhunting or an abattoir, shows more respect for the animal.
