new to the flock Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 blacta, How many examples of bad rifle, shotgun, or pistal shooting are posted on Idiot Tube? Judging by the number of links that have been posted on this forum alone I would say more bad than good. Do not condeme a sport in the whole by the actions of a few, or pretty soon there will be no sports left. Coursing hares is a fine example of this.

evilstoat Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 (edited) There is nothing wrong with bow hunting (only that it's banned here), it's sad to see so many things that are part of our heritage be banned, or the like. it was acceptable hundreds of years ago to hunt with them, i wonder what it would be like if bow hunters in the uk got up in arms to overturn the crossbow hunting ban like fox hunting, now that would be something the only thing i disagree is that you would have chavs, and wannabe rambos running about with pistol crossbows trying to shoot at anything that moved, and the mis-informed hunter (idiotic know it alls) that would use one of these £30 jobs to try and down deer with them. cheers ES Edited February 28, 2009 by evilstoat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeinVA Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 There is nothing wrong with bow hunting, and i do agree that those first few video clips pretty much showed you some hunters could really give a rats *** as to how or what others think of their actions.. I could sit here and shoot off about how cruel fishing is too But guess what That would be a stupid argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fullbore Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 See the word should there anyone, i can, one more thing NTTF, fullbore, learn to read! For one so one you have a hell of an attitude. I can read and very well. I happen to disagree with your opinion that guilt SHOULD increase with size. I don't feel that it should as ALL quarry, vermin or game, should be treated with the same amount of respect. Oh and I didn't get to 53 yrs of age without knowing that respect and guilt are different, but thanks for imparting your wisdom to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiercel Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I have just read this thread; to be honest I find it incredulous that someone with no experience of bow hunting can condemn the sport on the evidence of a few You Tube videos. Obviously the You Tube videos are how every bow hunt is conducted! Well it's on the Internet, so it must be how all hunts are conducted.

TC I find it incredulous that someone who at 15 years of age, can't have had much experience of anything, can expouns so mnay opinions. But it's not just him, when the handgun ban happened, the stalkers and shotgun shooter weren't bothered because it didnt interest them and couldn't see the point.

Mrs Sweepy Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Hi Blacta. You are a young lad(same age as my son). Its good to see you intested in hunting. Now i know nothing about Bow hunting. But i do know that if you ever do want to know anything about it or on any other hunting matter . You have all the imformation you need right here. And i think most will agree with me you have had three of the most knowledgeable people on this site reply to your post.(i not say who it will just go to their heads) And they are more then happy to past it on to the young ones on here . As my son has found out to his benefit. Like i said it so good to see someone of your age showing interest.But talk to the people that know . And just show then the respect that years of hunting has given them . xxxxSuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilishdave Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Looking at that and knowing the make up of a deers internals quite well most of those animals wont have gone far, a few of the quartering shots were a bit optimistic but again would have been down within 2 mins tops most within 30 secs. Personaly I will stick to shooting them but if you can shoot sub 4 inch at your max intended range on a bad day with a rifle or arrow and know where to put it then that is ok by me.
