Hey I,m a bow fanatic myself, and I personally beleive that guns are a major crutch for a hunter. With a bow your using your own strength and your own aim and your own endurance. With all the guns today you can have scopes, silencers, tripods, lasers, and almost anything taht limits the use of your own personal skills. Alls fair in war but with a hunt it should be you against the animal to see who gets the better of who. And crossbows are hardly better, it was the abomination that took us from bow to bullet. Any other opinions?
i belive to make a better world and better hunting is that man should revert to its primal state
I think bowers are cooler than gun hunters.
Im into archery. Ive never hunted before, but I shoot the target on a bale of hay out back. Im a pretty good shot actually.
I hate hunting! Its cruel.
QuoteAlls fair in war but with a hunt it should be you against the animal to see who gets the better of who.
Why should it be you against the animal, it doesn't want to fight and it is unfair, all it has is its speed and endurance, whereas you have a great big bow/gun. And I doubt many people even eat what they catch.
Why would you chase after, trying to kill say, a deer when it has done nothing to hurt you and you just want to hang its head on your wall.
Anyway even though bows look better it is a lot quicker and less painful for an animal to take a well aimed shot at the head rather than an arrow bolt which wont go all the way in and leave it pain for a lot longer than any bullet.
no ranged weapons! catch it and use your teeth!
I've always wanted to try achery myself.
But what you said is untrue. Usually when my family hunts down an animal they have a cookout and we eat that.
The only reason people should hunt animals is for food. Ever since mankind has domesticed animals to raise as food, hunting has been sport, and I hate it. If you're not going to eat the animal, there's no point in killing it.
And yeah, I rather shoot a bow than a gun. Give me a bow like Link's; no scopes, no stabilizers. I want to take up archery, but I can't afford it right now. Maybe when I get a good job.
And...hunting has spawned one of the most fun games on the NES, Duck Hunt.
I wish I could've shot the dog everytime it laughed at me. And boy, was I hungry back then; I was shooting down ten ducks for dinner. :P

A good hunter will aim near the heart, to make it quick and painless. Never shoot an animal in the head. And yes, I know many people who enjoy venicen.
I see a lot of posts on people who don't eat what they hunt. Rule in my family is you eat what you kill. And for those of you who say hunting isn't fair for the animal, since when does a deer decide hey, lets play a game of chase me and try to kill me with any other predator, it's survival of the fittest. Honestly I do own a gun and shoot it for fun but when it comes to animals it's all me.
Also, in the essence of animal cruelty, arrows are more lethal than bullets if they hit an organ cuz instead of a straight hole an arrow rips apart all organs it comes in contact with.
Animals kill other animals, what's the harm?
exactly, man should return to its primal state, and only take what they need to survive
So you would be okay with no Zelda?
I agree with Gamefreak. If we dont kill them to eat them, other animals will, and only eat half.
kinda, zelda rocks, but do humans need it for survival?
Well, we have veggies and dairy products, but we need meat. Almost everything we eat is made out of an animal.
Nonsense who needs meat when we have all natural protein supplement pills, stinkin vegetarians if God didn't wan't us to eat animals they wouldn't taste so good.
That is why people rear animals especially for meat.
And whoever said the heart is the best way to kill something, a bullet to the temple is instant.
I don't know how people can shoot an innocent little deer or rabbit. :'( >:(
Hey, if I'm hungry, out in the wild, and have a bow and arrow (or a gun), I'm going to shoot a rabbit so I can eat and survive. I'm just not going to shoot it out of sport. That's the type of hunting I'm against.
I have nothing against somebody if you hunt because you can't afford food or anything. But I could guarantee that hardly anyone here hunts because their family can't afford to buy meat.
And anyway animals eat other animals because that is all there is, I am not a vegetarian by the way but humans have other choice, they don't have to kill wild animals to eat. There are animals who have never known the wild who are reared for food, and that is all they know, it doesn't affect their lives to be eaten as they don't know freedom. So why don't people just eat that instead of taking away an innocent animals life for fun.

if humans were realy civilized then they wouldnt need to shoot it for sport and leave it out to rot they wouldnt need to keep sheep in a pen, the wolfs and bears wouldnt have been hunted, the deer and rabbit population wouldnt skyrocket, and humans would have been kept under controll,
i could just go on, and on.
but it will all lead up to the fact that mankind should retun to its primal sate,( how many times have i said that?) its better off that way.
oooo story time!
one time in pe, we were having archery
( private school, dont ask )
anyways, there was only five targets and 6 bows,
so sombody had to share a target.
i happended to be sharing that target with spencer,
who had a maaaager crush on me.
the tied balloons to the bullseye and your goal was to pop it, soooo hes all "watch this, im gunna hit the bullseye..." and i was like "ha! not if i hit it first..."
i aimed and hit the balloon! before he even had a chance! i think he was really embaraced... o well.
i probably shoulda just let him do it.
lol it depends, do you like him back?
uhhhhh, not really... but he's really funny and totally cute <3
Oh then you should of, if you did like him you shoul of done what you did.
o welll, one less to worry about!
Lol yeah, cuz were are just hot like that.
yup yup
Okay, that's a bit spammy. Get back on topic now.
Ok I think bows are cool, if I hunted I'd use a bow.
I d use a GDI ion cannon! LOOK! (http://www.tiberiumsun.com/downloads/images/ioncannon1.jpg)
