using illumanock in Wa

Great point  

I am interested how many people who are against lumenocks have even shot an arrow with a lumenock on it.

My guess is that most wouldn't just out of principle.

We shot them allot this summer at my buddy's house, when we were getting ready for the season. I think they are pretty cool looking expecially when they hit the target.  I dont see the big deal about them, They dont help you kill a deer or be more acurate, they just allow you to see your shot placement better or find your arrow when you miss.

If archery isn't broken without them then I guess we don't need em.

  I agree...we don't "need" them...but I can see the benefit they provide and see a near zero negative impact..that negative impact being that it doesn't appeal to some individuals senses of what constitutes archery hunting.

I'm getting old and need all the help I can get....   

I need an electronic call to help get game closer..LOL

Then our season would have to be shortened to two days for all user groups because we all know that electronic callers are far more effective than mouth calls.

I call it trad, because I am hunting in the tradition of my father, not "native"

Never thought of it that way.  Guess I am a traditional hunter also:  Case of beer, tank of gass, and a few guns.......always came back with dinner........

They ask me, why do you drink ?, why do you roll smoke ?, why must you live out the songs that you wrote ?......

I agree for predators they can be a big advantage... I can only see a slight advantage for Deer and maybe just a bit more for Elk. I think ecalls lead to a lot more dead predators but I don't think they would lead to many more deer or elk being killed.

Proponents for electronics in archery gear--we contend it doesn't help you harvest any more animals then you normally would.  We contend it won't make ethical hunters shoot farther or take chances.  We contend unethical guys are already taking unethical shots so that won't actually increase either.  We realize rifle hunters and muzzleloaders have no way to "see" where they're shots hit and they have to use old fashion woodsmanship to decide whether to follow up or not.  They have to judge the animals reaction at the shot, look for hair, blood and tracks to determine the next course of action, whether to follow up or wait.  We realize that what we are asking for actually is already available by using bright colored fletching, cresting and nocks.  But it looks cool flying through the air, looks cool on video and we really want it.  We don't see any danger to bowhunting if this is allowed, actually we already know it will be allowed, we've been told it's already approved.  If your against allowing electronics into archery your just an elitist.  Does that pretty much sum it up?
