An old saying from a wise man “An angry man will defeat himself in life as well as in battle” and, “Know thine enemy as thine self, and you can fight in 100 battles and not be defeated”
Good stewardship through patience and education of the individual whether a representative of hunting or not is paramount in our daily lives as Bowhunters.
We must educate ourselves as to to the the legislative laws and statutes as it refers to hunting, and keep ourselves and those we have influence upon informed.
Know when to walk away! Encounters which are escalutated to the being “arguementative” usually deteriate towards an negative outcome.
I try to keep my educated response to that of friendly explanations rather than becoming subjective.
An objective understanding of the law, along with a friendly explanation is as far as I go.
Knowing the topics which you too subjective about must be avoided. Example, 4 wheelers are a “pet peeve” of mine so I do not adress a question with more than what I know the laws state. A recent case in point was reference a recent post. I had to refrain from “Yelling and Ranting” at those who where ruining the “the experience and quiet” and hunting from them on a recent trip to Colorado.
Bottom line, know the legality aspects of the subject and do not argue to the point of anger. Got a call had to go. -
Back, Yes we must keep our private lives unsullied as an example by incorporating the things which mean the most to those who watch for any opening to critic us in any way.
Yes, how you conduct yourself even if you have a “Run in” or disagreement with someone will usually dictate the outcome.
Many of you do not know me here. I am a ‘Bowhunter” first and foremost with an optimistic attitude toward the future of the hunt. I do not like to call it “Sport” because that represents competition. I compete only with the fulfillment of my woods cup. I have it go dry if not shooting my recurves on a daily basis and souting, planting food plots and just being a a part of the “wildlife” in the woods. Yes, I want to hang a Deer but, I want to do it in such a way that it satifies me and the cup is filled up to the brim. It must be relaxed, legal, fair, (I do not like the words “Fair chase”, that sounds like Fox hunting with Beagles. I like the word “Fair” which to me, means a one string silently stalked or quietly waited upon, the quary. Then poked with the sharpest (I relish sharpening my Zwicks) blade from the best tuned instrument I have been able to tune, and cleanly leaked the life giving fluid from the “Food”. Short trails, and patiently skinned and quartered to my table. Delightfully prepared and enjoyed to the max each morsel.Easy ways, No! Why? Well the appreciation for it all could not be enough to the standards of my drink of the woods. Not strong enough to taste the rich experiences gained in the “Real Stuff” which I prefer. No creamers, no suger, no clear liquids for me. I want the strong brew for my woods cup! Not deluted, just pure one strings (Trad Bows) which are the natural blend for my trips to the woods. If all is done right! and the proper blend is achieved, My cup is filled. I drink to satisfaction what the only the Woods cup can provide. -
Hiram, all due respect. And maybe my own unabity to grasp. But your two posts seem to go off in different directions.
The net, to me is every one of us needs to be involved. Get involved with our supporting organizations, at the national, state and grass roots levels. Be active, get to work with your organizations and where applicable get involved in the legislative aspects of these organizations that support, change and influence the laws that effect our sport at the local, state and national levels.

Hey Steve, Blessings! Thanks for the reply. Yep, kinda of an introduction of what my Values represent and how I feel about hunting. Trolls exist on the net and surface from time to time
I would like those on this site to know that I am Genuine.
I started with compounds because I had no knowlege of One strings. 1995 started me with a Quillian Patriot recurve. I killed an Elk and a good Buck that year with the Recurve and had one of the best seasons of my life. I now have a dozen or more recurves. My interest in being here is to be in good company with those who whose interest in Hunting and shooting the one string (Trad equipment) is there way of enjoying the Hunt. Sorry if I sound somewhat eccentric. I probably am. 🙂
