Are Traditional Bows humane?
jamie:
im a tracker and spend quite a bit of time looking for deer for other hunters in my area. as of yet ive never been called on to look for a tradiotnal hunters animal. yet several of the hunters i track for used to be guides and are very experienced hunters. using guns and compounds. peace
mullet:
As in Manny's case Ive also shot hogs with bows.They will sometimes flinch and continue rooting.And then they will just fall over.

I have been a bit busy recently and have only just found this post . Like everyone else says primitave /traditional bows and arrows in the hands of a competant and ethical bowhunter are humane and very efficient method of harvesting game . On an alarming note here in Australia a New South Wales judge a few weeks ago completly disregarded expert evidence that arrows are a humane , efficent method of harvesting game and went with a contrary argument from a anti hunting professor and found a mate of mine guilty of cruelty to animals for shooting a cat with his longbow [ feral cats are legal game ] on his large leased rural property .The cat travelled 4 metres after being struck , unfortuatly the cat proved to be a wondering pet from a neighbooring property . A very sad situation allround that a rabbit hunt on his own block proved to have such dire consequences .

That suck's Perry.Tell your friend to use a blunt next time.
D. Tiller:
What a bummer! What happened to your friend? I hope it was just a small find and he can plead his case again. Sound like the judge was extremely biased.
