I make every effort to respect the ways others choose to hunt without judging. I think we do more damage to our cause by not putting up a united front at all times. But for me, handgun hunting is an up close and personal endeavor, testing one's hunting skills and field craft. But that's just the way I like to do it and I prefer doing it with revolvers that shoot straight-walled cartridges.
Ditto.
Just because I chose to use a Red Tailed Hawk to bag rabbits doesn't mean I disagree with using a 22lr to do the same thing. We are all hunters, be it with a hawk, a handgun, a rifle, or a freakin slingshot.
We are all hunters, and should back each other no matter what method we chose. I don't think anyone in this thread has attacked anyone else, or their method of hunting. Everything has been said "in general". But I do agree that sometimes, hunters can be their own worst enemy.
