If I were ever to hunt for sport, it would be with bow and arrow.
I am not impressed...there is not much sport in that. You should have to just use your bare hands.
If you can hunt down an elk or bear or whatever with a bow and arrow or spear or knife or whathaveyou, then great! I'm impressed. But I see no sport what-so-ever in sniping animals at 300 yards with a high powered rifle and telescopic scope.
I am glad I don't need your approval. Spoken like someone that knows litttle or nothing about hunting. There is much more to hunting than sniping at 300 yards. Go back and read some of the other posts, or better yet, read a book on hunting.
I know way too many people that get hard over killing animals in this manner, and they're all the same.
You need to expand your circle of friends. I have never known a hunter that was like this.
