Archery hunters and arrogance

[kroberts2131]

Then do it!!! And don't give up....
I killed my first few deer with a bow and never picked up a gun to hunt for a long time. It's a very gratifying feeling when it all comes together.
I enjoy both now plus ML, but the feeling of taking your first deer with archery equipment is a memory and feeling you'll never forget.

Oh I'll get it done this year! I had one chance and the rush was amazing. I was shaking so hard, stood up, and my knees popped! Should have just stayed sitting down and popped her!

Ive killed deer with rifles, shotgun, compounds, recurves, longbows, inline scoped MLs, and percussion MLs. That leaves a crossbow, handgun, flintlock ML and a thing called an Atlatl(sp), a hand thrown spear type thing.

So far Im most proud of my longbow kill, it took the most work. But its all fun, no need for arrogance.

I really enjoy early bow hunting, but I'm a rifle hunter! !!!

I'm all about trying an atlatl for deer, played around with a couple homemade ones, surprisingly easier to use than I thought they would be. Can't convince my GW that one is legal though.

You kill a deer with an atlatl, and you can be as arrogant as you want. I'd like to try and spear something out of a tree.

There are people in all sports and all things that have that attitude. It shouldn't matter what someone else thinks. If you're happy with a deer shot by your preferred method that is all that should matter. I get that heart pounding in my chest feeling every time I see a deer while hunting, even if it's a fawn/yearling I have no intention on shooting. The key is to not get butt hurt if someone else doesn't.

I think the season need more than two week buck season for rifle. Thats is just stupid...

Even flyfishing has it's elitist. I learned it because it was more challenging and I enjoy it. Catching trout on powerbait got boring to me real fast. After watching some fly guys I decided I wanted to try it. I think bowhunting is more challenging than gun hunting but your going to have arrogant people in every sport, put them on your ignore list if they bother you that much.

LOL!! You folks don't have any idea about arrogance untill you get around some purist fly fishermen.

I'll ask them if they have heard of George Daniel. If not go read his book, then come back to me with their attitude. Those people are............. you know what.

1. The guy is one of the best fly guys in the USA
2. In his book he promotes using indicators in certain situations.
