This is caused by folks talking about things they don't know about. Most of the "more trad than thou" guy's on here have never killed a single critter with a stick bow. People just talking and being keyboard heros.
I have found that the guys who are very successful with a trad bow could care less if you hunt with a stick or an AR. its about the hunt, not about the tool.
LONG LIVE THE HUNT!! [/b]
The simpler your tool the more skill is required and the more rewarding the hunt is and the more you are respected.
Guys like Bill Negley were very adamant that bow hunting was the most difficult and the real "true" way to hunt and the last time I checked he was very successful.

Well if it's on the internet it must be true!!!
I hunt javies also, but don't eat them, I give them away just like ol' Bisch.
I checked multiple links and they are most definitely edible. I even checked the online encyclopedia known as wikipedia. People like you won't eat them because you are too picky and have too many options of food to eat.
People like me will literally eat any meat.
The sad thing is that people actually kill animals just for their head. I'd never thought that a modern single string archer would condone trophy hunting let alone trophy hunt.
I thought we were all better than that. Traditional archery is a life style which is about old way traditional ethics, values, food you consume, and so on.
Trophy Hunting on the other hand is very modern and something that was just started in Europe in the 1800's as an ego boost. Trophy hunting is something that goes hand in hand with the compound world.
Also someone mentioned that vermin like Coyote are not edible which is NOT true at all. Coyote are most definitely edible and there is a guy on dual survival that eat's the back straps and I know of a few people that find it to be delicious especially in a stew.
Since people are posing lot's of questions in this thread my question is, if you are not going to eat the meat why the hell are you going to kill it? All life has value and whether we like it or not we are equal to all other animals. I promise you that if you were a Grizzly Moma Bear you would value your life and your cubs life over that of a humans. We only believe that a humans life has more value because we are a human.
If you were that grizzly that was just being killed for it's head your world and opinions would flip upside down so please show some respect to these beautiful creatures and at least eat the damn meat like your ancestors did.
