well, I spoke with the hunter that passed along that new rule and he said he believes that they don't want arrows and broadheads left laying around on the ground for the cattle and horses to step on.
Like I am going to leave a $10 arrow and $10 broadhead just laying on the ground out there.
Which makes me wonder, if one did leave a broadhead out there, how long would it last before corrosion took it to where it would not cut?
As for all of the ideas you fellas posted, I doubt it is them hunting the property as they have their own plot to themselves and the acreage we lease is for us. And people can wound deer just as easy with a gun, heck it happens every year, bad shots get made and that is just part of hunting sometimes. We try not to but sometimes it just happens. And everyone on the lease bowhunts, or at least we did. I started back up in 2009 after a long hiatus and love it more than ever.
I doubt we will get off because of this, like I said, I hunt this with my father, brother and a few good friends, plus the price is tough to beat for what we get. I will just have to try and educate the land owners when possible.
