Wrong. That was my first post in this thread, I think. You basically said that there are more animals found with bullet wounds than with arrow wounds. What excuse? It was a reply concerning statistics.

Statistics. OK, you need to consider the percentage of hunters who shoot vs hunters who use the bow, and then the percentage of the animals with bullet wounds vs those with arrow wounds. Come back when you have the answer.

Very few hunters grab there rifle or bow and go out to massacre every animal in sight. I doubt Colpy is one of that type. Most hunters follow the rules of hunting, more-or-less. That means they fill their tag and take the game home. Only an idiot would think otherwise.

First you call Saint John a city???

I actually worked with the wardens in the bush, more than what you can say. You only did hunter / firearms safety courses?? LOL, you can look up on the internet for that.
Owning woodland doesn't make you an outdoorsman. Come back when you are a real bushman. I was with them for 16 years. Sorry, you lose.

What did you DO with them?????:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

I mean, you may have mowed the lawn, been a secretary, mopped the floor, .....or for that matter, you might have been one of their expert wildlife biologists.....that claimed the eastern Cougar was long since extinct......

As for you, your answers and arguments on these threads prove conclusively that you simply know SFA about nature in general, and hunting in particular.....your philosophy of hunting ethics is idiotic, as shown by the fact you make no effort to defend your contention that the use of bows is ethically superior.....despite the increased incidence of wounding over the use of a firearm.....your knowledge of the characteristics of carnivores and pack animals is non-existent....you are making a damned fool of yourself.

Not a freaking clue.

I think you washed the windows on the Forestry Building........

I got curious ....... According to BC gov't stats 2007, there were about 87,000 licensed resident hunters in BC. About 32 % of those were licensed bowhunters. Almost the same number of bowhunters were also rifle hunters.
I can't see any other province being much different than BC. If you think so, prove it.

First let me point out that rifles kill more effectively. Quicker, with less pain, and less chance of leaving a mortally wounded animal in the woods.......

First sensible thing you've said and that I agree with.

Let me just say tha I grew up in NB and have worked with the Ministry of Natural Resources for years. I know what I am talking about where you are only a wannabe authority. I will admit it, though, I have never hunted, except with a camera.
True sportsmen use Bow and Arrow when hunting just as a flyfisherman is a true sportsman in the angling community.

How does the bolded make you an expert in anything? I'm almost finished with my BA in geography, and I don't recall studying hunting and the most effective way to kill a animal or fish. Is that reserved for 4th year? Granted my concentration is human geography, but still, it would be nice to add hunting expert to my resume. :lol:

LOL. Mopping floors, washing windows??? In the bush?? You are the one who looks like a fool.

Let me see, 41 years in the bush as opposed to 16. I think Colpy has the edge on experience:

Colpy;
I was brought up a hunter in a family of hunters......I have had a hunting licence every year for the past 41 years.
As for Natural Resources, I volunteered for years as an instructor for both the NB Safe Hunter course and the Federal Firearms Safety Course........in doing so I worked closely with local game wardens........guys that actually spent their time in the bush..........and we never had a clash of opinion over the nature of wildlife

I admit, I am getting tired of your BS, and did not carefully read your post.....on re-read, you did say "worked with wardens in the bush"....now, what did you DO?????

And, I would have to work at it a loonnnnggggg time to make as much of a fool of myself as you have. I know my ground, and can stand and defend my opinions, be it on ballistics, or animal behaviour, or ethics

You will not, because you can not.

Anyway, yes, coyotes are opportunistic animals. They learn where food is plentiful, they learn where it is easy to get, etc. Giving them the idea that it will be harder to acquire food near people will make them look elsewhere.
Any CO that says differently is a rookie and didn't soak up the theory he/she went to uni or college for.

Well I am getting tired of your BS. When you talk ethics, you have none. Killing for the fun of it is proof of it. You can't defend the opinion of you being despicable. I don't give a crap about ballistics and you don't know squat about animal behaviour, except yout own, so have a good day.

So what is your point?? Humans have to adapt to live in harmony with nature...
