using illumanock in Wa

[rooselk]

Chose to believe me or not. That's your business, not mine. But when was the last time you were at a big traditional archery shoot or rendezvous? If you haven't been to one let me assure you that all the things mentioned in that post will be found there. And they'll also be found in the pages of Traditional Bowhunter magazine.

Yes, it's OK for "traditional" archery hunters to use the latest and greatest technology but only if it fits what they perceive as "traditional".

TAPS playing louder and louder.

This is a slow, agonizing death. Put it out of our misery!

Exactly why I'm laughing, who would have believed aluminum inserts or broadheads would be considered "traditional"

[rooselk]

And I guess it's you that misses the point. Things like metal risers, aluminum arrows, etc, were around long before the compound was invented. But that's not the issue. Rather, our archery seasons have long been regulated in compliance with the Pope & Young Fair Chase standard. But now we have some who advocate that we set that standard aside when there is no compelling reason to do so.

Really? Then why are there late November archery hunts where the deer are often in belly deep snow, Entiat for example?

huntnphool, it is still fair chase as long as you don't use a lighted nock.

Now you're just being ridiculous...

...then again I have always found it difficult to have a serious exchange of ideas with those that bring a video game mentality to hunting and don't mind pissing on the legacy of those that came before us.

So have at it, boys. I'll shut my mouth and let you whine about how unfair it is that you aren't allowed to play wth your shiny electric toys.

I am always up for a reasonable debate on issues.  I still haven't read one idea that the world as we know it will end if lumenoks are allowed.  I likely wouldn't use them because of the cost and I do fine without them, but if others find it helpful, then why not?  I would be more interested in using expandable broadheads.  They actually would have more of a possible effect on the outcome of a hunt.

[Lowedog]

C'mon there roosy, if your gonna try to compare someone saying a lighted nock should be allowed or that they have nothing against it to what those who fought to establish archery only seasons then who is being ridiculous?

I have always found it difficult to have a serious debate with those that bring a superiority mentality to hunting.

[huntnphool]

It's okay Rooselk, I really didn't think you had a reasonable explanation for that question anyway. I have read P&Y's rules of fair chase and if our seasons are regulated in compliance with their rules, why does Washington allow baiting? Or is this "being ridiculous" too?

Time to rename this thread Can-O-Worms.  I think we've heard every argument that should be heard more than once, and 10x as many that never should have been brought up.  Let it die.
