I'm a bow and black powder hunter. Technology has made hunting meaningless. Today, the hunting skills of our ancestors have been lost to technology. If you want to see what hunting has become in America it is some moron wandering arround with a .44 magnum pistol.

The average hunter in America can't read sign, can't stalk, doesn't have the necessary patience in a stand or blind so he makes up for it with mud buggies, beer, and a 30.06.

You claim to know 3 big game hunters, but you post crap about them like this?

Big Game Hunters ain't got the balls for it. Most big game hunters like the illusion of danger but not the reality. To use a dart gun requires that you get very close. Under 60 yards. Screw it up and the distinction between the hunter and the hunted gets reversed.
Our very distant ancestors knew what hunting really was. They went after big game with spears and rocks. It was no game to them wearing fru-fru hats and using high velocity rifles. For them the prize was life not ego.Failure didn't mean low self esteem it mean't death.

I think you're an anti-hunting troll, blowing smoke. In close to 60 years of hunting I've known hundreds of hunters that can read sign, can stalk, and a few who have had the necessary patience in a stand or blind to get skunked for several years in a row, before getting their deer.

My son is a trophy hunter. - He's went to Africa twice, and has been skunked both times on Cape Buffalo. Seen them, couldn't get close enough fir a clean kill.
One of the two Grizzlys my son has killed was charging him at 20 yds, not an uncommon occurrence in Alaska or BC.

You are simply wrong about big game hunting, and those who hunt.

I'm a bow and black powder hunter.

I believe that bow hunters and BP hunters are the most unethical, inhumane hunters out there. They don't care that their weapons are the most ineffective and often wound the animal and leave it to a long, wasteful death.

/sarcasm/turning of the tables.

See how that broad brush you are slinging works??? The only people I see making broad, idiotic statements like you made are: A. Elitist/supremist hunters that wouldn't mind seeing most types of hunting banned EXCEPT for the kind of hunting they do. OR, B. You are in fact an anti-hunter trying to disguise yourself as the one and only "true" hunter.

Which is it?

You do it your way. I'll do it mine. I'm not there for the sport ... I'm there to fill my freezer with meat.

and my 30-06 will knock them down and they stay down.

If you're such a big man, why not put the bow and black powder down and fight hand-to-hand with your prey?
