> Bow hunting is among the cruelest forms of hunting. Many deer who

> dehydration, and predators.
> Please contact TVPOA officials and politely ask them to take bow
> hunting off their list of deer-control methods.
> Thank you for speaking up for animals!

Do these aholes actually read the stats on bowhunting? This is so full of holes it is almost funny.
