"That is exactly what the founders had in mind.." Now how the hell do you or any other member here know what exactly the founding fathers had in their minds when they started out waaay back then? The endless interpretations on here are amazing, its like you fellas think you were there or something...wow I think some of you should run for office because you know it all so well.

"questioning those who find it so easy to discount the values and rights that got us to where we are today." A right like freedom of religon?

Wealth of the people or wealth of the country, obviously our country is in debt way over its head and so are most of its people. The wealthy 1% sure is wealthy though. America is like a freind you let crash on the couch, we don't know when its time to move on. I wish we would stay out of some of the stuff we get involved in and let the bastards fight amongst them selfves instead.

If you judge popularity by shear numbers then yes bow hunting is less popular. It requires more time for practice and it is harder to get closer to deer for a shot, but its not rocket science and is alot of fun.

Isn't that the parents job? You can't possibly entrust your children's future and way of thinking in some one else. I know its easier to stand and point fingers but really it is all in how a child is raised to begin with.

Have any of you guys given any thought as to why these countries hate us so much? Do you really think America is so super nice to them and has not given them reason to hate us? If the tables were turned and a foreign country occupied our soil all of us would be doing some nasty stuff to defend our own turf would we not? We as a country have a habit of not leaving people alone and then complaining when they turn out to hate us in return. I completly understand why we are over there but some times it seems like our troops would be better off some where else....like Mexico or our borders. War is big business.

haha Thats great!

I don't usually bust people for mis-used words but, if you are going to make a crack about other hunters intelligence you should at least use the right form of the word..its there not their. lol And I must confess I knew it was satire, I just played along. Although I do think Bloomberg is nuts.

I would to that there won't be a lot of blood loss from a gut shot, its more that they die from the toxins that are released into the blood stream. More simply put, they get sick and die which is why it takes time. And Geno, I wouldn't have believed that a liver hit could do that other than I did it a couple of years ago. The deer made it 30 yards and fell over dead and we inspected the lungs at home and never found any cuts in them. We guessed that I had hit the blood supply to the liver and that was what caused the rapid death. I have hit the liver on 3 including this years doe, I hate the feeling of doing that, as soon as the arrow got there I knew on all three occasions it was bad but I also knew it was a dead deer.

Thats for real? wow Bloomberg is nuts.

The liver lays right against the diaphram which is why I asked that, if you were ahead of the diaphram you had liver if not then it was just gut. It sounds like it may have been just gut to me but it does look like it was very close to the liver, so one inch could have very well changed the time frame for you. A liver hit deer will die before a gut shot deer but again, bucks play by a totally different set of rules. I do think you are right when you said that he would have been dead with in the hundred yards with out jumping him. That is probaly the single most important thing for any one to learn here, when in doubt back out and leave it set for at least 8 hours or else you will be in for a long day(s). Liver hits can go different ways, I have had them die in minutes and I have had them last 6 hours. Generally speaking liver hits we leave 4-6 hours, gut shots 6-8 or over night as you said. Oh and good job finding him, I neglected to say that before, although it didn't happen perfectly you did your job.

"Im just saying that the law is what it is and if you dont follow it, you pay the price." Especially when they were warned to stop, seems like if one wanted to pick up a legal battle it would be better to do with out charges against you.

So was it 100% gut or did you catch a little liver? Did it go through any part of the diaphram? Bucks especially will not stop until they die when they are jumped with either shot. What did you learn from this experience? Maybe some of the guys that read this will learn something is why I ask.

I would hang the rack as a reminder of the terrible shot and hope it doesn't happen again buck or doe.

I wouldn't need to, we would find it the first day or two and be done with it. lol

Its already here, check the prices of equipment and find private land access or a lease. And WE are to blame for that not the govt. Just look at the number of people that are ok with higher fee's for every thing.

To bad you couldn't find a member of this site or one the others you visit that lived near you to give you a little help getting started. I am on the other side of the state so I'm out but I would gladly help you other wise.

You know there is a saying, If you can't spot the crazy person on the bus, its you. I know it ain't me and 2BRKnot2b is sitting a couple of seats up.

I went to see them last week, I don't know if you heard, those guys are dead a long time now.

Oh boy, you're one of them birthers ain't ya.

LOL. I paused on the same part of the post---first thing that came to me was---boot int he A$$ and GTF out of the house...Either that or he would be performing maid duties and polishing my car every day Son, your mother and I are becoming nudist's, leave your keys by the door and see you at Thanksgiving. lol

"(his mother's insanity)," Or yours? Seems like your wheels are wobbly.

I think you must be right, if guys are willing to post up a picture on a public forum just imagine what goes on that doesn't see the light of day. Hell there was a guy that posted two stories about two bucks he had shot on here during bow season and it seems pretty clear that it was not legal, now that was ballsy.

Eddie you wild man! whats a matter, you didn't want to book a trip to North Korea, or Iran or any of the other hot spots right now? Good thing you weren't there went it all started cause we would be blaming that on you too!

No and it happened yesterday too?
