[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 182190, member: 12"] Links No sore spot with me. It is just as I said, the method is not the important thing., only to some people. Hunters go thru 5 phases in their hunting career as a norm. the method phase is there in the middle of the pack as its important to them how they kill the game. However it is not important to everyone else and it really is irrelevant in the big management picture. No we cannot have open seasons where anything goes, but we cannot get anal about how it is done either and make it so limiting to other hunters particularily new ones. We have seasons and bag limits and they are adjusted yearly in many cases to "manage" the species. The fact that inlines are more accurate just means that more deer/elk might be killed in a given time period. does that stop you from getting your deer/elk with a flintlock and round ball. No, not at all, so what is the real issue? I guess if we would all ask the question "Is this really just how I want to see it done, or is this really best for the sport and all other hunters?" first then maybe we can stop the downward spiral of fewer hunters every year. Here is a great example of a riotous debate going on across the US. I am not a great fan of crossbows, but here in VA they allowed anyone to now use them, we now have many more hunters participating than before and maybe some will switch to compounds or traditional. So was allowing crossbows the end of bowhunting as clamored by the "tradionalists"? No not at all but some still have their panties in a wad and have trouble sitting down, but we have more bowhunters and new hunters than before, so I am all for it seeing that. BH [/QUOTE]
