Pretty sure this is derailed. But remember hunters who are only for their way and hate all other methods hinder us as a group. The DNR, State Wildlife group, Ministry of Conservation... regulate the seasons and the numbers.
I applaud muzzleloader hunters who use percussion or flint locks but I'll be using my inline (mostly because the surrounding counties I hunt locally only allow shotguns or muzzleloaders for the regular season). But I wouldln't mind one of those Pedersoli double barrels and trying my hand at pheasant hunting. There's a group here that uses them on turkeys and a clays league.
I'm also a bowhunter and I don't care if fellow hunters use Atlatl's, Recurves, Compound or Crossbows. I congratulate them for getting out and hopefully bagging a deer. Or go Fred Bear/Ben Pearson style and shoot some ducks on the fly.
Singleshot to semi auto all have their place. Is a hunter using an AR10 in 308 carrying a 30 round magazine all that bad if they down a deer in one shot with 29 still in the magazine? I use a bolt gun and load 5. If i'm packing in somewhere the other 15 will be in my pack because who knows what will happen.
I may have bought 6 tag between the two states I hunt this year but I stopped after tagging a 6 point because I only needed 1 deer. But if I knew a family who needed meat I could have filled more and helped them out.
Can't we be happy that we have a tradition we share?
