I don't see your point about P.E.T.A. Hawk,those guys make no allowance for the killing of any game animal in any manner.I've had convo's with several members of that esteemed org. and I can tell you that they would certainly like to see you stop killing and eating animals they regard as thier brothers/Sisters/long lost aunt etc. Read their mission statement sometime.They are not your friend Hawk.They helped ban dog hunting cats and I hope one of those idiots get eaten by a mountain lion laying on his chase lounge in his back yard in some suburb of Los Angles I have tremendous respect for the environment and all the life contained within it,I live with one of the few apex predators that can get the best of even a well armed human and make meat out of him.So far we have'nt tangled and I hope we do not,but I don't worship the brown bear like a deity either,Every time I go out in the woods and streams and seashore,I am in his company(It is one of the appeals of living here) he is another creature out there making a living,mostly looking for something to eat.(Like me)Also,he makes great trails for walking on,from the sea to the alpine. I see the beauty and I respect the environment and do my little part to help keep it intact.I live in a native village on an island in southeast Alaska,here when the winter of "06/"07 took 90% of our deer,it was felt.In many households here,deer and seal is the only red meat eaten.To buy chicken in the store here in the village cost you four something a pound(Also pork) ground beef is four to five dollars a pound. Needless to say we eat alot of fish,crabs,clams and about anything else we can find edible.When the berry crop is poor up here,it is felt too.You pay two something a pound for a banana.I lived in eastern Washington for twenty two years and hunted and fished practically every month of that time.It was a good training to prepare me to live here. I live not close to this land here,but in it.I am a citizen of this habitat. I take seriously the threat the anti-hunters pose to your "Sport" But i know them for the mis-guided humans they are also.They do not live in the habitats they scream about,the more honest and adventurous step in look around(Most never leave the city) and then step out.They don't contribute to D.U. or R.M.E.F. or any org. that restores or enhances the environment,they send thier money to orgs. like P.E.T.A. I personally do not know anyone I call "Friend" that is a Anti-hunter.I do not have time for that B.S. I do know alot of people who do thier hunting in the meat isle in safeways though.
Your preaching to the choir on this site Hawk. Frank (P.S. that medicine arrow is a fine looking arrow.(I believe in "Medicine" also)
