If it is legal, it is ethical! It may not be the way I would hunt, but I am not going to knock anyone for the way they hunt as long as it is legal. CD ignore these snobs.

cardeer - Theres nothing unethical about shooting a crossbow. HOWEVER, its much less challenging than shooting a compound, recurve or longbow, and the very ease of its use invites people to abuse them - thats where the animosity towards them come from.

I agree Cardeer. I have always posted on here that I have no problem with any hunting method as long as its legal. Some people rag on me because I bait deer into my backyard but hey its legal here. I have also hunted deer in VA. with dogs and had a blast. I also hunt some 'city deer' that would probably get hit by cars if it wasnt for hunting. I think the disabled hunter should be able to use a crossbow and they can in my state. I also would have no problem with disabled hunters using an ATV to get back into the woods further in state forests. But I do have a thing against hunting captive deer behind high fences but that is illegal in my state. I think the TV shows that show hunting in these places are not doing hunters any favor with the antis. We need to stick together to fight the tree huggers.

Cardeer I agree with your statements. I would also like the trophy hunters to get off the backs of meat hunters. Venison is venison.....whether be doe or buck.
De. is getting ready to pass a new lic. law where you buy your reg. lic. with 2 doe tags attached and you have to pay extra 10 to get a buck tag. Way to go Trophy hunters, you just cost alot of De. hunters more money.
We all just need to get along.
