responsible hunter
kinkfeather:
i think it is getting close to deer season.i see the buck fever poping out all over the place. ;D kink
profsaffel:
I do hear what you are saying, kink. While, like Justin said, plenty of compound hunters are responsible, a goodly portion are less than admirable. But then take the traditional/primitive crowd, and you'd be hard pressed to find an 'unethical' hunter among them. Probably goes with the nature of being willing to take the time to make your own equipment, etc.

i have known some trad hunters that dont need to hunt at all. they dont know their limits. same goes for guns, wheel bows, and all. there is good and bad in all, you just gota be the best you can. i got a new wheel bow this year after forever with a stick and string, but i have some deer on this ranch i run that is in the 180,s several in 150,s , iam a better shot with the compound at 40 yards. wont shot past 20 with my sticks, and i like the horns. as far as meat i do d-map get bout 50 to 60 extra doe tags this year. we got way to many 11 to 1 doe to buck. way i look at it as long as your in the woods with what ever you choose to hunt with thats better than out doing dope or stealing, ect....... good hunting and luck to all.

all good points-Bottom line is ethics and honor no matter what weapon you choose to carry.While afield there is usually never a judge or jury to warrant your actions.It,s all up to YOU!have a great day and good luck to all this fall-Lloyd

The people warning you of generalizations are right.
I just came back from a weekend event where I was deeply offended by a primitive hunter talking about shooting deer in people's front yards and leaving the gutpile, he laughed about it and said it was really funny to watch someone's bigscreen tv thru their big picture window while he was gutting the deer. And this was not some anonymous peon, this is a guy that has appeared on the cover of PA, has had numerous articles in the magazine, and yet doesn't understand the most basic tenets of ethics. Hate to have to say it, but don't lump us all in one category just because we are on this website, subscribe to the PA, or pen articles for the magazine.
Let it be known I will not shoot with this person, hunt with this person, or even have my picture taken with him in the frame.
