This is not about anyone on here.

I hate these “purist” bow hunters. You know the one who use tree saddles and shoot modern compound bows. They will then proceed to tell you how much better they are than you because they would never use a rifle to hunt “because it’s just not as fun” or “I need more of a challenge” or “using a rifle just isn’t ethical” and heaven forbid you bring up crossbows around them. They’ll have you hung for even thinking about hunting with a crossbow. In fact they want crossbows outlawed because “that just ain’t hunting” as they sit I. Their tree saddles with their Matthews V3 with a drop away rest, try glow pin sight, and a range finder.



I really don’t care how anyone hunts but some of these people need a reality check. Deer hunting doesn’t have to be hard.

I agree 100%

You mean like sitting in a blind over a corn feeder and calling it hunting?

Or u see fellow hunters coming in and out of a store a nd they have that " im a serious hunter" look on their faces.. Sheesh!

Hunting should be about what makes you happy. If it's a challenge you are after, hunt with a traditional bow from the ground with a benchmark of a mature buck. If it's filling your freezer, a rifle over a field full of does. It doesn't have to be hard and it doesn't have to be easy but it should be what you enjoy. Don't lecture others if they don't follow your approach to hunting. However you choose to hunt, practice those skills, you owe it to the animal to make a clean, humane harvest.

I've got another one. Why do some hunters feel the need to keep their hunter orange hat on their dashboard year around? Is that a signal I don't know about? lol.

here we go lol. Exactly. I could care less how people hunt. If they want to sit in a shooting house 100 yards away from a feeder with a rifle that’s fine. If you want to get within 10 feet of them on the ground using a recurve bow that’s also fine. It doesn’t affect me how someone else enjoys spending their time.

I throw my hats on my dash all year long. My golfing hat is on my truck dash right now. I never realized how big of a deal throwing blaze orange hats on your dash board was until I got on this forum. I simply do not wear hats when I’m inside even inside a vehicle so I throw it on the dash board.

I thought maybe it was something creedmor shooter did, lol.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with xbows being used during gun season……

I agree..... wish they were only allowed for handicapped in archery season. So, I guess Im one of those guys to hate. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry along with their kids now pressure deer all fall running around shooting at deer 50+ yards away with their xbows. It is a dang disaster.

I never realized so many people had shoulder issues until crossbows were made legal. 😆

I'm glad we have options.

Would be great if we just had "Hunting Season."

I was taught you eat what you kill. I deer hunt because I like deer meat alot. Half of the kind of people mentioned in this post probably don't even eat deer meat

This also applies lol. nothing wrong with using a crossbow but you don't have to justify it with an injury. Just hunt with a crossbow and go on.

100%. Jealous hunters, hate em

This

Lol I’m thankful for an old friend that gives me whatever his freezer won’t hold…keeps me from having to shoot a 2 yr old for meat… I don’t kill does here wish we had enough to do it and I ain’t good enough most seasons to kill 3 mature bucks, I’m good for maybe 1 a year

I've wondered that. I never wear any

I was wondering the same thing, never knew why the hat was up there during hunting season or year around.....is a secret signal I am missing out on?...lol
