Primitive and traditional hunting?
JustAim:
''Primitive'' is just a word modern man made up. lndians used the best weapons available to them at the time...and so do we. When the ''white man'' came snooping around with his guns claiming they're better than the bows and proved it, alot of the indians made the switch because the guns were better for hunting and made life alot easier for them. Today, we devote most of our time trying to earn a living because living off the land is illegal to do in todays times...all the indians had to do was hunt and gather etc. The thing l'm trying to say is, if the indians had this technology available to them like we do today, l'm sure they would have went for it. l hunt with the best equipment l can afford and l'm not ashamed of it.

Jim you'll find the whole spectrum of bowhunters on the forum, but a whole lot of hunters who like to hunt the hard way like yourself,
That's cool you pull 60#, no weenie bow for you:)
I think anyone who hunts with a traditional type bow is hunting primitive,
don't apologize for wanting to discuss a subject,
there's lots of people and threads with hunters who are real purist and hunt as primitive as it gets on the forum:)

No sweat jimmey, don't let it get you down, most of us trad guys are passionate about this stuff and can at times be pretty defensive (myself included).

I think the reason we all have our own ideas and thoughts about what is "Primitive" or "
traditional" is because it is an evolution and doesn't happen over night. Example: We put down the laminated bow for the selfbow. Then we decide to use natural shaft over mfg. Then we replace the metal broadhead with a stone one and so on and so forth. Some of us continue on this path - quivers, clothing, knives, etc..., some of us stay with just the bow and some revert back to modern lamenates or worse yet "wheelies" ??? . Its all about where you are on the road to "Primitive". I prefer most of the "Primitive" weapons, tools, clothing, and methods but I still feel that I have a long way to go.
