I agree completely but I’ve taken shots with a rifle that didn’t end the way I expected when the shot rang out. Does that mean my dad didn’t teach me properly, I’m incompetent, or that even the right weapon in the hands of a well trained and conscientious person doesn’t guarantee the end we desire?



Schit happens, regardless of the weapon used.

Yep, this never happens to rifle hunters grin

I agree with you 100%. I have seen countless deer and some bear when killed with rifles gutted and skinned with arrowhead falling out or imbedded in them.

Yeah, because we all know that no elk have EVER been wounded by a rifle.

but if you have a rifle and the elk gets up to come at you a lot easier to shoot it with a rifle rather then a stupid bow

I agree. I knew several hard core archery hunters in Georgia. Down there, we were just shooting little whitetail deer.
I heard many stories from these bow guys about wounded deer that got away.

Yes, I know rifle guys make mistakes but archery guys make a lot more. They cause a lot of unnecessary suffering to game animals.
