Ep:14:Jim Willems- Board member and Past President of the Pope and Young Club

Whoa! Hold on boys and girls of the hunting scene, this is going
to be a HOT TOPIC!! 

On this episode of the Ryan Furrer Podcast I'm joined by past
President and current Board Member Jim Willems from Pope and
Young. 

The main topic of discussion was the highly debated issue of the
modern day Crossbow.
 
Yes! There I said it- we're actually sitting down having a
discussion about crossbows and if they have a place in the actual
bow season.  Let's be honest if you're a bowhunter the
advancements in crossbow technology in the last few years really
has to leave you scratching your head.  Just the other day I
saw a crossbow ad where their marketing read "Meet your next
rifle!" HA! 

So why not sit down with one of the top guys at Pope and Young. I
mean P&Y is the organization that is actually responsible for
us as bowhunters having an actual bow season in the first place,
so I would think their opinion would be valid.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I'm personally not
anti-crossbow, I am however starting to question how far this is
actually going to go. Where does it end? So this isn't a crossbow
bashing podcast,  It's a discussion that more hunters should
be having.  Hopefully from this episode they do. 
If you don't stand up for something, you'll fall for
anything. 

We said it in the podcast- speak up, become heard, get involved
with Pope and Young, or your State Bowhunting
Organization.  
As the great Fred Bear said, "If you're not working to protect
bowhunting, you're working to destroy it"
