Really uncomfortable, but I agree with AF.

Tried doing my part.

A few around shot every season as a target of opportunity. Nowhere near enough to plan a trip just to hunt them. Try the state land in the area - most landowners are tired of the parade of requests to hunt the few who are there moving around constantly. Even more tired of those not bothering to ask.

Still one of the best self promoter's I've seen. Every word and deed carefully crafted to get paid. No different then a pro wrestler matching the character to the crowd.

And the clock ticks, as the mad Google search ensues..... No google search here - I was there. And I am furnishing the same level of documentation for this one that AF has used to support anything he has said here - probably more since I don't avoid any legitimate questions.

I'm 60 and was hunting then. You are almost 50 - means you where less then 10. Don't know how it could have gotten by you just because your arrows then still had suction cups. ;D

Wasn't a lot of internet then. Tells me the same tired lame excuses didn't work then and are just as foolish now. Especially when their are tons of facts and examples proving otherwise for those capable of using reason and logic. Pretty tough for those that can't obviously. There is no "O" in Steve - but feel free to keep spelling it that way if it does something for you.

Ask anyone that was hunting at that time in NY. Arguements where they where not bows, where too easy, and would ruin the bowseason. Sound familiar?

Nonsense. The controversy has been created by crossbow pushers like you who demand that crossbows be allowed in bow season. NYB is simply trying to protect bow hunting and bow hunters. Remember, crossbows have always been illegal. It is preposterous that you would blame NYB for creating the controversy. Support each other? LMFAO. Then crossbow hunters should support bowhunters, too. The door swings both ways. An easy way to do that is to find a different season, instead of forcing their way into ours, where they have always been illegal, where they will never belong. Well said. It's always the people who want to abide by the law who are accused of undermining the collective. It's pretty obvious that the people who want to force their way into a season that excludes them are the ones not respecting their fellow hunters. If you really want to push the whole, "Hey, can't we all just get along" BS, then respect the regulations, and we can all move on...in peace. Most seem to conveniately forget compounds where not always legal in the bow season. Neither where mechanical releases. If some had not lobbied for them and moved on to "respect the regulations", then most "bowhunters" would still have to be using a real bow.

Typical NYB antihunter statement.

How could any hunter want to make a tool used for 1000's of years and legal in most states to not be a legal weapon in even the gun season?? Absolutely unbelievable. :

Landowners being upset with hunters and dogs on their land without bothering to ask is harrasment??

Not as principled either, apparently. : For sure not elitest.

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

All the black ones too? ;D

Reality TV is for drama queens

Since they represent ALL NY bowhunters....you are probably right. ;D They represent themselves and their members. Thats about it. Actually just themselves and a very few of their members.

Everyone has access to those treatments. Just as everyone has access to hier a lawn service. I don't want to pay one cent for anyone to avail themselves of either. There is no right to any service one cannot pay for and there is no way I should be made to cover it for them.

Everyone has access currently. I don't want to be forced to pay for someone elses.

Who is your mentor? No doubt someone with a whole lot of patience.

Getting some new static limbs for my DAS recurve.

Size of deer on that page and AR have no relationship. You are just trolling for an arguement - once again.

How many of the type of guns made illegal by the ban where ever used or are used in the comission of crimes? I bet those implimenting and supporting the bans have no idea or they would be using the figures to garner support. These type of laws make more crimes and criminals (of non criminals) then they ever prevent.

I saw nothing on that page about AR.

Question for everyone- does a doe hit bad get looked for for 6 days? If not then how long?
