I think (and I know I will get flamed for this) bowhunters as a whole are a bunch of elitist and self absorbed hunters that think their way of hunting is the hardest and therefore are the "best hunters" if you will. And they show alot of animosity to other hunters.
One only needs to look at this very forum andat the replies regarding this sort of comparison (gun hunter vs bow hunter)
Sadly it seems (at least to me) that most who are like this only bowhunt, maybe they pick up a rifle or shotgun during the gun season but haven't hunted with other types of weapons and other types of quary. If they had then they would realize just how wrong thay are about other hunters and their hunting abilities.
There are many here that don't fit into that catagory but there are even more who do.

BigJ.....it's one thing to state an opinion. It's another to let someone else's opinion bother you. If you do.....YOU have made that CHOICE.
MY opinion on gun hunting shouldn't affect YOU. Your choice.

BigJ....I didn't mean to infer you did. I should have said "In general". I started to edit it and decided not to.....but that's what I meant.
Sorry.
