And yet, if I want a chance at a buck with blackpowder,
I have to use a flintlock or hunt rifle season.
Hell until about 2004 we had to use roundballs.
Again, this is disputed, but in my experience they are
poor killers. Not always quick to kill, and often leave poor trails.
Numerous DRT, but also have had a number that we would have never even
found the blood without snow.
Meanwhile, archery had compounds that evolved from 100 some fps to
300 fps. All kind of sights, releases, arrow tech, expanding broadheads...
The only thing denied was pods, and devices that held the bow at
full draw and released with a trigger. In effect, a crossbow conversion.
I'm not opposed to archery in general.
I have a beef with archers.
Not every single one, but as a group they are the worst at trespassing
and illegal kills. Along with turkey hunters, but often it the same people.
Even in gun season, if I catch a trespasses, it's usually
someone that bow hunts.
