There are thousands of conservationist hunters in Indiana using high-powered rifles, shotguns, handguns, and muzzle loaders. And there are thousands of conservationist hunters who use vertical bows and crossbows. We should not accuse a hunter of not being a conservationist just because of his/her choice of weapon.
Cedar, i would agree that use of weapon does not equate to a conservationist or not. But, when you assess engagement in issues, all fashions of engagement other then going afield and harvesting, hunter engagement pretty fails horrible from both a social, legislative and financial standpoint.
