Talk:Bowhunting

message: "For others, hunting represents a humane way of controlling animal numbers, ensuring continuing financial interest in the maintenance of healthy wild populations and habitat, and bringing urbanized humans to understand the natural world. [2] [3] [4] Few defenders are found for the practice of canned hunting, in which little skill is required because the animals are closely fenced in."
I think that these passage makes sense in the article about "hunting" in general, not in the article about "bowhunting".--194.65.151.249 13:01, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The begginning of the article says that a rifle hunter may take shots exceeding 200 yards.  this is not true.  even rifle hunters will rarely take shots exceeding 60 or so yards.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.35.201.76 (talk) 01:29, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You have to read the text carefully. It says "a rifle hunter may take shots" over 200 yards. That simply means that it is legal and possible to do, not that it is done routinely. If it said that a rifle hunter must be within 200 yards of the target, you would be correct. Bob98133 (talk) 12:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Not to mention… involved. What type of tackle is the bowhunter using (e.g. primitive, trad, compound)? How powerful is it (e.g. 50 lb, 80 lb)? What's his skill level with his tackle (can he barely hit a pie plate consistently at 20 yards, or an he group on a dime at that same range?)? What's he hunting (e.g. deer, turkey, bear)? How's he hunting it (e.g. stalking, blinds, treestand)? — NRen2k5(TALK), 23:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I have removed the statement that Scotland has been considering the reintroduction of bowhunting to control deer since 2003 because it is unreferenced and I can find no official confirmation of this. In addition I personally asked someone from the Deer Commission from Scotland who could shed no light on wether it was true or not. If you know of where this info comes from then feel free to put the statement back and put an appropriate reference with it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thunderbuck ram (talk • contribs) 11:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Editor Pikznbailz - thanks for adding the info about NZ, but it is far too much info. Read WP:UNDUE. By adding all this info the article becomes unbalanced. Also, how much of the info is essential? If you say that "many" countries do something (like ban exploding heads), it is not sufficient to only cite that this is the etiquette in New Zealand. Ban is very specific, as is many. If an editor adds material, he should also supply references that specifically support he new info. Sorry to keep reverting your edits, so I wanted to explain why.

message: Well, it seems that at least one of two additional conditions would have to be met: (1) Said culture permits consumption of the flesh of animals killed by bow hunting.  (2) Said culture permits hunting for purposes other than obtaining food (e.g., sport). But what about Judaism? The Jews certainly had bows since ancient times, as evidenced by even a cursory reading of the Old Testament. But "normative" halakhic Judaism obviously precludes (1), and, quite arguably, also (2), so Jewish culture just might be an exception, then, to the "in every culture" generalization with which the article begins. Except, that is, in the very earliest, pre-halakhic period; see Gen. 27:3, for example, where the patriarch Isaac commands his son Esau to bring him venison slain by "quiver and bow". // If someone more knowledgeable can shed some light on this issue, please do. // Toddcs (talk) 21:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Current version says "has been a normal use" not "is". The article later points out areas where bowhunting is no longer practiced, even though the culture still has bows... 214.4.238.180 (talk) 20:57, 13 July 2011 (UTC)
