I was fishing in Medicine Bow this past weekend. Bow season was open for deer and there were plenty of road hunters. I saw a couple guys in a tepee (thinking they may be traditional shooters) and stopped by soot the breeze. They were not traditional by any sense of the word. Here are a few of their comments that make me sad that don't understand the enjoyment of the hunt and are simply going through the motions.
"This bow is so fast, I can’t even see the arrow fly!"
"I drove through the campground and saw him. I got out of the truck to start my stalk but the kids playing in the next site wouldn’t be quiet!"
"The bow rack on my 4 wheeler can hold an arrow separate so I can get the shot off quicker."
"This new silencer on my 4 wheeler let me drive within shooting range. About 80 yards."
I've never been an anti-compound guy. To each, his own. But regardless of that you shoot, it's getting harder and harder to find people who share our values.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I have heard the same types of things more times than I care to remember. This is the bane of our sport, and when a guy with wheels talks like that, the regular person who isn't a hunter will think we are all like that. I am willing to bet that it was illegal for that guy to shoot within so many feet of that camp anyway....We must police our own...

THAT is just Plain Sickening to Hear.
