Colorado Bowhunters Jamboree

"I've got friends who'd rather starve than pick up a gun," said Joe Zupancic, a 20-year bowhunter from Eagle."

20?
 
I think he meant bowhunting for 20 years;)

If I was really 20 I'd be headed to Australia right now.
 
Well the Denver POSt is a POS, AND Pericone a Wildlife whatever he is, sure does not do the outdoorsmen any favors by saying killing an elk at 400 is not hunting!
"Killing an elk at 400 yards (with a rifle), you don't really hunt. But when you have to get within 30 yards and bugle and worry about scent, then you're hunting."

What a bunch of garbage. Typical too, that blankedy blank is with Colorado's Parks and Rec..ofcourse.
He ought not to speak.

His statement was more of why he likes to bow hunt, not why all you gun hunters suck:D. At least that is how I took it at the time.

Although, if you ask me, it is a nice sign of a less rifle loving commie commission;)
 
He sounds French to me. We haven't needed frenchmen in this country since we politely asked them to save our butts in the Revolution.

We couldn't get rid of them. They killed all our beaver and stole all our Indian women.

I issue the insult at 3:36 in the 100 best insults to the French.

At times people project elitist attitudes. Remember this guys statement, if and when you put someone down for "Bear Baiting", "Trapping", "Hound Hunting" etc. If it's legal, then I advise discretion.

Many archery hunters today, believe that 90 yard shots at game are OK!

The French taught people how to trade fur. They do know how to maintain mistresses you know:D
 
Knowing the guy with his foot in mouth, I believe he meant what Dink indicates. Just a personal enthusiasm for bowhunting versus rifle hunting. But a big gaffe for a wildlife commisioner to make...

Then again who is to say the media did not make the mistake. They misquote and mischaracterize all the time. Look no further than the quotes attributed to Mr. zupancic. Does anybody really ithink he is as sharp as the article makes him out to be.:hump:

they know how to lop the head off of royalty too.

Khunter, I don't know Gaspar personally, but I am familiar with some of his conservation work and have been impressed with his drive and his dedication to wildlife and wildlife habitat.
