Bow fishing really needs to be stopped. It's one thing to hunt Asian carp because they're invasive and the less of them the better but hunting our natives like gar and bowfin which in some places already have low populations is just plain idiotic. I don't condone those that practice bow fishing.
i don't care what anyone's opinion is on bow hunting. they can be for it or against it............but my issue with this post is that you only care if a certain species is taken with bowfishing.
i personally am ok with bowfishing as long as it's done legally and the fish taken can legally be taken with a bow. but if i wasn't ok with bowfishing, it would be across the board and not just a few fish that i care for, for whatever the reason
