Mr. Thomas' words are thought provoking and correct.
We are all human, and therefore prone to make mistakes. Perhaps someone in the Trad circle has just made a mistake, either legal or ethical, or who sold out to high tech money train.
Or perhaps he was pointing to Icons of the past, like Howard Hill, who shot snared or gun wounded animals, and claimed them to be "bow kills". Or Fred Bear, who at one point in the 70's favored making poison arrows legal.
I enjoy reading Don Thomas' work, as he makes one stop and "THINK".
