Whether recurve or compound; compound or crossbow; shotgun or pistol or rifle; single shot or repeater; optics or open sight; .243 or .30-06; there will always be those who think they are better than others because of their method of harvest. Meanwhile, there are those who work their every breath and spend their every cent to prevent you from hunting any species with any method - and for this simple reason - I wish we all focused on teaching land stewardship, wildlife management, the discipline of knowing your weapon and knowing your target species and knowing your State Representative and Senator.
