I’m a few days from being on the list for exactly one year and still waiting…but it’s in a good way, considering other more pressing issues that have arisen, but I’ll be ready when the time comes. 😀

How much do you think your autograph is worth now that you are in your 15 minutes of fame? 😀

Tom

It’s worth the value of the object I autograph minus $10. 😆

As someone who was raised on whitetail hunting from a treestand, I enjoy the column.

I have no TV service either, although I do have a TV. It drives me crazy when I see the kids vegging in front of the TV. 👿

What a gulf there is in between traditional bowhunting and the rest of the hunting world. I’m glad to be on this side of the gulf!

Limblover has one, right? I seem to recall him mentioning it, and how much he liked it.

If you’re even remotely close, you should try to get to Kalamazoo, Michigan for the expo Jan. 29-30. You’ll have LOTS of bows to try out.

SteveMcD wrote: Actually I read the whole point – Loud & Clear. The simple question, can a population of hunters become more mainstream with the “traditional” values and attitudes shared by “traditional bowhunters” as we have expressed those values on many “traditional internet forums at nauseum.  
 
The answer – No. It is not possible.

 The question was “SHOULD traditional bowhunting…”, not “could…”. I’m sure we all know it’ll never happen. But I digress…I’ve made my point.

You are missing my point completely! I’m merely using examples to point out that I think traditional bowhunting, as WE generally define it, would be a positive influence if it were mainstream, which is the point of this thread. If you think the whole point is simply, “would it be better if the same guys on TV were using longbows, etc. instead of compounds” than the thread is pointless. To me, it’s a more dynamic, complicated idea, and can be discussed from a number of angles. That’s all. I’m NOT discussing, and have no desire to discuss the definition of “traditional bowhunting” as I think it’s been beaten to death.

SteveMcD wrote: So a Compound Bowhunter is a “Traditional” Bowhunter? I think not. 😆

Nor was I saying that! All I’m saying is it’s a package deal. Hunting in a fenced in pen with a longbow is not traditional bowhunting either.
