cajuncoon:"Look -- gut hooks are an innovation, and a good one at that.
Otherwise, it would make sense to say,
"Guns are good for those who can't land an arrow, and for those that just won't learn bow skills."
Sheesh, come on and let each have his own without condescending insults"
No insult intended at all. There are many folks that hunt casually, and that are not skilled with a knife. Gut hooks may be right for them. Innovation is not a bad thing. My point was that gut hooks were not, and are not needed by an experienced hunter.
