Been bow only for all 4 legged creatures I hunt since 96. Love the challenge and the preparation,etc, it requires. I'm 55 now and know one day I'll pickup a gun again but hopefully not for awhile longer. Hunt birds with a gun.
To tell the truth I haven’t bow hunted since high school. I joined a few years back when I wanted to get back into it, but have since realized I just don’t have the time to dedicate to it. Plus I don’t enjoy deer hunting anyways. Hogs and varmints are what gets my blood boiling. I enjoy the talk here, and read through far more than I participate though. I mostly hang out in the campfire and other side though, as that’s what I know. I do scroll through bow only conversations, as I still enjoy learning. I just have come to the conclusion that I won’t have the time to dedicate to bow hunting to be as efficient as I should without giving up other hobbies.
Ah so that word in there gives you the right to be an uppity ******* to other sportsmen just because they deem another challenging method to be their choice when in fact their method is no less efficient than the one you chose.

The whole point of the question is this. Why would this group dog pile a good person because he chose a less efficient method to take game? He wants a challenge, and practices to ensure he’s up to that challenge. Just like y’all do as bow hunters. Those specifically doing it for the challenge, which bow hunting is a less efficient method of taking game as well compared to rifles at normal distances as well. If you’re capable, and confident in your ability to make the shot then that’s all that should matter. I’m not seeing him call the dogs, which is more than I can say for many of the 20-40 yd hunters in here.
By the way this isn’t a knock on bow hunters. It’s a knock on *******s being *******s. I fully enjoyed the bow when I did, and if time permitted I’d pick it up again.
