Don't worry, you didn't get us all riled up. Pretty much everyone here hated PETA already!

Nah, don't worry about it.

Anyway, back on topic, anyone know about bow hunting here? I mean in my experience I'm not the best shot with a rifle but I'm generally ok at Archery, I mean I'm happy to try both at some point in my life, but sense I might be better with a bow

Thank you for the set, Azrael!

I don't think it took much for us to state our already well-formed opinions, so don't worry.

As far as bow-hunting I have mixed feelings. If you know how to do it and can do it well, I'm fine with it. But it does take a lot of skill to do well and if you're not very skilled you can easily cause an animal a lot of suffering, which I have seen before. Like any hunting method, as long as you're competent with your tool and can dispatch the animal swiftly and humanely, it's a fine method in my opinion.

In some ways I even respect hunters. Humans are naturally apex predators, and big-game hunters are some of the few people still in touch with their natural instincts. I find that rather admirable, as long as said hunters are respectful of nature and use humane methods of killing their prey.

@Murdock : Maybe shoot your prey with a bow and immediately put it down after so it doesn't suffer ?

My father bow hunts it's harder as you have to be WAY closer to the deer and sheather is right if you don't do it right you cause a hell of a lot of suffering and almost all ways have to fallow a blood trail after it runs off to find the body. Rifle hunting is much more practical in my opinion.

I'd say shoot it in a place bad enough to cripple it, and put it down. Shooting it in a non-vital place would cause the animal to escape and suffer horribly.

If you just have to put it down...

why not just use a gun? :/

In my defense, I'm only considering it.

And you all bring up a very good point, I don't want the animal to suffer an unpleasant or drawn out death, a rifle would be both more practical and more humane, I should just practice with a rifle and get better at it in general

I'm not knowledgeable in bows. Is it really necessary to dispatch any animals shot with a gun anyway if you use one? That just seems an unnecessarily cruel way of killing an animal, then.

Atleast it controls the population.
