their are hunters out there that believe the quickest way to success is the compound bow.they do not want to take the time or the energy to be a responisble hunter.we as primitive arcers are in all aspects of the hunt.we take the time an energy to make are own equipment.they believe if a shot at a deer out of their killing range take it an see if you can make the shot.they are not being a responsible hunter.if they wound a deer they will not take the time an energy to track it down.their are alot of people out their that do not know the consept of being a responsible hunter or they do not care.that is one reason i do not visit the archery shops during deer season too much bull crap going on.most archery shop now do not carry traditional equipment.my killing range 20 yds any thing over that is risky shot will not take it.i do not care if it is the biggest buck in the state.i am a meat hunter.the trophy to me is the meat an not what is setting on top of a deers head.i have found too many deer with their heads cut off that is sickening.i am so glad to be in the company of responsible hunters.kink

Cacatch:
Amen!  And I believe there are a lot of old timers, Native Americans and otherwise who rejoice from up above when they hear someone speak up who feels like we do in this day and age.

I think we need to be careful making generalized statements. I know a lot of guys who hunt all kinds of weapons who are among the most honorable hunters that ever lived. I have friends who shoot wood bows but wont hunt with them because they are more capeable with their compound, that is responsible. I also see nothing wrong with hunting for animals with big horns. Here we can only take one deer per year, and I will pass on small bucks often in hopes of getting a big buck. I have yet to shoot a big horned deer that has less meat than a baby.  ;)

Guys that take heads and leave the rest are poachers not hunters. They wouldn't be afraid to shoot it out of season any more than they would to leave the meat. They also wouldn't hesitate to use a rifle or crossbow during bow season, legal or not.

mullet:
 I agree with Justin, I know some very good hunters that use Compounds also.

kinkfeather:
but you would have to agree with me that we do have some bad hunters out there.i have not met a traditional bow hunter that was not a responsible hunter.too many people want to hunt antlers than meat.some hunters want to brag about what they have killed.some hunters believe that killing a big buck is the sign you are a better hunter.a responsible hunter will help manage wildlife.their are 2 different points of view here an i understand respect bolt.if i offended anyone that was not my intention.i was just speaking of my experences.if you noticed i said some hunters we that offends any body so be it . ;D kink
