Paper Plate Pugilists

[Five Seasons]

sorry jesse but it's because of hunters with attitudes like you that there is always in fighting between us. Maybe the guy doesnt have time or the means to shoot as much as you prefer all hunters to shoot, maybe the kid doesnt have an experienced hunter to teach him that the more you shoot the better you are. I think suggesting that someone shouldnt dare go hunting until you've shot a bow for at least months or some "X" amount of time that you deem required is nonsensical. Like some have stated prior instead of turning up your nose like some bow hunting snob you should have offered knowledge or tips. 

 

I'm not sure we "in fight" as much as people think. Debate and discuss? absolutely. Remember the internet is not reality.

The funniest thing about this post is the SAME topic, was posted by the SAME guy, last year around the SAME time.

http://huntingny.com/forums/topic/18373-paper-plate-archers-in-full-effect-today/?hl=%2Bpaper+%2Bplate+%2Barchers+%2Bfull+%2Beffect+%2Btoday

There's also a post in last years "Live from the stand 2013" from the SAME guy talking about his own complete miss.

Not exactly what you'd expect from one of our "top echelon archers" as he refers to them.....so maybe some guys need to take their own own advice before opening their mouths and being so critical of others abilities.

BTW- I still need to google what a pugilist is.

I might be one and I don't even know it!

Yup as good as I am it still happens. You increase the odds greatly by not doing due diligence. Everyone loses a deer at some point and time. If you haven't then you either have not been hunting long or it just hasn't happened yet but it will. Just for follow up. The very next shot on a deer I double lunged the deer and clipped the heart at 30 yards and it went 40 yards and piled up.

This was the thread that lit a fire in my backside and made me register!

To Mr. James, I think you are one of those miserable old men ( or young man, w/e ) who just looks to find a fault with people! While I agree that these "YOUNG" hunters will need to get things right, I do NOT AGREE with how you handle yourself in reference to this topic!

Instead of ripping into new shooters, offer to help out! Give advice! If you are so damn good, then offer to have them stop by the range once a week or so and you can teach them!

 

We need to help new or young bow hunters! It's a part of the ethics of hunting! At least for me and the people I know! We should be encouraging new hunters, helping when we can, to make the sport grow! Not acting like a teething three year old oursleles!

You may want to actually read the thread. OK thanks. And no I'm not miserable. My life is amazing. Thanks for playing.

I may have come off crass, but I will never negate my thoughts on how hunters should act! Especially in this day and age!

When I got into bow hunting, my local range had an all ages program to help new bow hunters, or even those who may be having issues. As long as you had paid you $20 a year membership fee, the class was free and members could attend. I learned a lot, and I asked a lot of questions.At times, I swear they wanted to beat me with my own bow! I was 21. If not for those two men who donated three hours every Saturday, and 2 hours on Sunday, to help new hunters like me out, I would have never stayed in bow hunting. If some jerk had mouthed off to me the way you say you did, At that time in my life, I would have knocked the SOB right in the mouth!

 

Why not talk to the people at your range/club and try and get a program to help new shooters of all ages? Volenteer your time, and ask others to do the same. Acting like this and spouting off will not cure the problem! Doing somethng to try and help new hunters, even gun hunters, will do more good then bitching about it!

 

I personally think I am in a tree stand looking at a brick wall when it comes to getting the reality of the things you say about this in a forum everyone can see through to you! You think those anti-hunters don't read this forum? HA! It's all out there for everyone too see.

 

They thrive on this fluff!

 

THANK YOU FOR PLAYING! Try QBert next time..........

Sometimes passion comes out wrong. I can understand; the love of deer and deer hunting runs real deep in me and my family. Sometimes my father and uncles have been hard on me and my cousins when it comes to practice and prep. They've all lost deer and know how it feels. They've seen deer suffer and know how it feels to watch. Men especially have to be careful that our passion doesn't push so hard as to ruin relationships or turn young hunters off.
