Stringman:
John this story is another great example of the persistence it takes to do this thing we do. We who have committed ourselves to the hardest form of archery hunting, realize our success rate will diminish. We realize our failures will mount. Our frustration will be profound at times and we will be faced with questioning our true motives for hunting. While many of our friends scoff at our choice we continue to make this personal challenge relevant to the only person that matters - the guy who's teeth we brush.

If I were trying to kill a deer in the most ethical manner I would use a variety of other weapons more efficient than self gear. The fact is, that's not my goal. My goal is personal, just as yours is. And it requires a level of determination few people in this nation are capable of comprehending. We who walk this path don't do it for reality show ratings or the approval of the outspoken. We do it for ourselves.

When a story like this is penned and you are allowed to read it, I encourage you to read between the lines. Keep your criticism to yourself, and try to appreciate the thousands of hours of work that have gone into this accomplishment. This deer represent more than the sum of a successful hunt. It represents a whole lotta failure... and a few successes! John, my prayer is that your failures are fewer and your successes many! GOOD HUNT!

Josh B:
Well said Scott!  Very well said!   Josh

Zuma:
I hear the ring of major selfishness here, as well as attempted
censorship of other's thoughts and ideas about ethical hunting.
What is wrong with some advice about staying on the target range
until the time you won't miss? Or at least not miss ALOT.
And please re-haft a new point and give the animals a better
chance at a quick death. You have plenty of them Iowa.
Iowa I assume you were not joking about missing a lot, as it seems
only the others will tackle my replies? And I also PMed you all in hopes
to keep your thread on topic and not being hijacked. I have fielded
more than your share of provocative questions here in the recent past.
Please reply on Message Board Rules
Thanks Zuma

Stringman:
Don, I have endeavored to give you the benefit of the doubt and ignore some of your less informed statements. However, you are proving to be something of a bully and I don't care for it. You stand alone in this confrontational approach, and, since there seems to be no support for your comments you should ask yourself if there be any basis for your assertions. The fact is your assault of John's character is unnecessary and needs to stop. Those of us who know Iowabow, can vouch for his integrity. And while some your requests have the appearance of propriety, your condescending tone shows your true motives.

To conclude: censorship hasn't happened yet, nor are you making friends. So what's your purpose here? Just a friendly question.

criveraville:

Zuma, what is the point of your existence and participation other than to troll on this forum. You have no business directing/telling or even suggesting to ANYONE on here to get out of the woods. If hunting and harvesting game in the purest form offends you, then perhaps you need to find another forum to troll. I'm certain Opra and Martha Stewart have forums that wild be better suited to your delicate sensitivities.
