United Crossbowhunters of Kentucky

Gents, anyone interested forming a club for crossbow users or even crossbow supportors, this is for you. I'll try to stay on top of this until we can have a election of officers and form the club properly.

For starters, we'll need at least 25 members before it will be worthwhile, IMO. I believe when the word gets out we can do that easily. You'll recieve a window decal for you vehicle and ATV and a membership card. Any other perks will be decided at the first organizational meeting that we have. we may well just meet on the Internet for now. If we are fortunate to geta supporter that can get us on the web, so much the better.

In the mean time, if your interested, shoot me a PM and I'll send you the info on joining. Dues will be $10 per year and will include LKS membership(gets you the LKS paper, the Kentucky Afield magazine and LKS membership card). The group will also have 2 votes at the convention in June. This should at least put us equal in terms with the UBK. Thanks and comments on making this better are welcome.

The logo could be a drunk guy in orange sitting on his tailgate with a crossbow at a deer crossing sign. I'm no good at drawing but I have a great mental picture. :eek: :D :D Sorry, I couldn't resist. All the slapping, clawing, and hair pulling lately and I've tried to avoid the nasty stuff. What the hell! I am a selfish ARCHERY ELITIST Right!

Being a recovered alcoholic, I'd go for that if the UBK changes theirs to a guy with an extremely big head on his shoulders. Skin dog, I don't have a problem with you having fun with this, but this is serious business. I didn't see anyone cracking sick jokes at your attempt to form a club a day or two ago. If you have something constructive to add, bring it on. Otherwise, we don't need your help.


Update: I laid down for a nap before the night shift tonight and I've got 20 PMs to sort through. I'll get them out tonight I hope if I'm not to busy.

harpp that was my feeling about it as well. I had not thought much about xbows until I saw the discussions here. I got so tired of "real" bow shooters calling xbowyers lowlifes, scum, lazy, poachers, etc. I decided that this was something I had to get involved with. xbowyers are no different than any other group of hunters, there are good, bad, and ugly in every bunch. Well I'm good and ugly so I should fit in with any group. I'm ordering an Excalibur xbow soon.:)

I live in Ontario, Canada where we have hunted the archery season with crossbows for over twenty five years now and am delighted to see the great state of Kentucky has finally seen the light. If $10 dollars will ensure that xbows stay legal hunting tools I will gladly contribute to the cause. I sent a money order to you yesterday. Please sigh me up.

I tried to delete this post this evening but could not due to my obvious lack of computer skills.

My apologies on this post as it was highly un professional and was un becoming of an officer. My duties as a director of the LOKS, UBK and last but not least president of Cyberhunters dictates that I be much more professional as well as mature enought to not post such rubbish as this my last post on here.

My apologies. As a matter of fact I think I'll just leave you boys alone. I sure hope this all ends soon one way or another as it is stressing some of us to limits we can't handle in a civil manner.

UBK

was formed to prevent the use of crossbows in the regular archery season some 20 years ago, we were then and forever will be against them in the regular archery season. Anyone can join UBK, but we as a group do not support crossbows. Is the NRA an elitist group becuase they don't include bows, I think not. For all of you guys with the comments about opening the doors for the anti's how many are members of the United Sportsman Alliance, NRA, or any other group that actually has some power on the National Level. If we are going to defeat Anti's it will take $$$ not talk.

All of the above and then some.

My contention is you are setting a very dangersous precendent that can be used by the ARFs down the road.

Face it - politicians can more easily be swayed by the ARFs than the Game Commision can.

Who's hands do you want the future of hunting in? The Game Commision or the politicians?

Good to hear she took advantage of his program. I first heard of him about 7 years ago, and I've been following his program ever since. My older kids would understand what you are saying, but my 5 year old has had it better. The grandkids, too!

Glad to see my check has been received and my name listed in the number 4 position.

BTW - of all the pro hunting organizations listed by far the one to support above all others is the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance (formerly The Wildlife Legislative Fund) out of Columbus, Ohio. This group has a proven track record for already defeating two well funded (by the antis) voter referendums that would have ended dove hunting and trapping in Ohio. They know what they are doing and are good at it. They work on the national level not just Ohio. IMHO this anti crossbow crap has to be making their attorneys cringe. It is for this reason that I quickly sent in my membership fee to show support for the crossbow hunters. I still don't own one - yet.

This edit was to correct some spellin' mistakes. Also be sure and do a "google" and bring up the Sportsmens Alliance's web site. It will show all they are involved in.

I didn't take anything personal that anyone might of said or threatned to show me their boot. I got the kind of reaction that I would of given also as he was replying to a previous post of mine.
So because he wasn't able to figure out how to remove his post and I respond to what he wrote then...I'm the bad guy. I don't care. Call me what you want too. Been called worse by better people before.

The UBK is one of the oldest and stronger supporters of the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance and WLFA in Kentucky. A check has gone in consistently for many years. Members have attended National Conferences. Same with my local bowhunting group, we have been an Associate Member of the WLFA since the Protect What's Right Program. The WLFA has had a strong base of support from bowhunters since the very beginning. I'm sure someone can twist those statements and make something bad out of them, but there they are do what you will.

Of course the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance will accept and defend crossbow seasons and crossbow users. That is my whole point. The "traditional" bow and the crossbow kill the same way - by hemorrhage. A cutting instrument is afixed to an arrow or bolt and shot into an animals vitals. The animal bleeds to death. For one group of selfish elitist to constantly and continuously throw out statements about how the crossbow is going to be an ineffective tool used by the unskilled is IMNSHO a "suicide" mission. The UBK may win this round but then groups like the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance will, at some point, have to defend this bunch of "super hunters" when their own statements are used against them by groups attacking any type of bow hunting.

That is why I opened MY big mouth(or keyboard if you will), we have enough to think about, and ALL bowhunting could end and soon, if we aren't VERY careful, so what do many of US do? We insult the very people that could help to avoid that????

Seems smart to me NOT!

I wasn't going to add to the "mix", but try as I may, I couldn't let this go on any longer without my opinions, since I feel, that we are all going to lose with such "elitist" attitudes! Wow another choice BIG DEAL!

Life goes on(for now) all hunters need to "get along" and stick together, or hang apart!! Think about that??

Well, Well found out some things about ya Mr Conley. I think once everyone figures out who you are you will be out in the cold. Most ethical hunters are not going to have someone represent them that have game violations in their past. Such as asking for permission to hunt on property and being told no and then you and 3 of your buddies doing it anyone and getting caught. And before you deny this or remove the thread I Have in my possession the public record of this and will happily post it and other things for people to see who you are. You are a fraud, anyone that cheats and steals from a property owner cannot be trusted and that show who you are in real life. Also your bashing of the local WHAS host of the only hunting show on the radio is pathethic. At no time did Jim use a crossbow in a regular archry season. I would get my facts straight quick if I were you. Met some nice people from all over Ky today and they all know you and don't like you and know Iam seeing why, so if ya want to play ball get a glove:-) Oh and don't use the excuse that the conservation officers was out to get you as you have said in the past because even if it were true you can get cited if you are not breaking the law. Yeah your a great example:-)

I've been on the net a long, long time debating just about every subject imaginable.

One thing is real apparent in these debates - some people when they see they have lost the debate on the facts will start to personally attack the person they are debating.

At this point, unless he was charged with murder or treason, I don't care what Multi has done in the past. He obviously has the patience and tenacity of ten and I admire him for it.

I took a lot of time writing post #47 on this thread. I'm still waiting for one of your thugs to give a witty reply. Yes - I am now thoroughly pi$$ed.

I never thought I'd see the day that he would have a fan club, however as he just has a unique way of always pissing some poor soul off on a near regular basis.:eek: :o :rolleyes:

The facts are that Multi and 3 friends were cited for hunting waterfowl w/o permission in Bullitt Co. on 12/31/04. One of the hunters didn't have a federal waterfowl stamp. They paid their fines, kept their guns, and we all moved on.

I'm sure others on the site have been cited for hunting/fishing/boating violations so for everyone's sake let's all "MOVE ON." If he had it to do over he would probably not do it. This is the xbow forum so let's keep talking about xbow's, not personal attacks on members.

Of course the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance will accept and defend crossbow seasons and crossbow users. That is my whole point. The "traditional" bow and the crossbow kill the same way - by hemorrhage. A cutting instrument is afixed to an arrow or bolt and shot into an animals vitals. The animal bleeds to death. For one group of selfish elitist to constantly and continuously throw out statements about how the crossbow is going to be an ineffective tool used by the unskilled is IMNSHO a "suicide" mission. The UBK may win this round but then groups like the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance will, at some point, have to defend this bunch of "super hunters" when their own statements are used against them by groups attacking any type of bow hunting.

Going on 48 hours - still waiting for the reply/explaination on how the UBK's stand isn't hurting all hunters. Think about changing the "K" in UBK to "kamikazes". It shouldn't matter the "divine wind" blowing off your organization will have a bad smell to it. Can't believe your group is this shelfish and DUMB. Maybe now an organization of anti-hunters will petition the Governor and Legislature for approval or ammendments every time a hunting season is set. You guys really thought this out didn't you?

I've had enough. I'm going to start fading from this fight. What will happen will happen. This is one of the first times I haven't felt bad I left the Commonwealth. You've made your bed - now sleep in it.

After 5 days I thought one UBK member could think of and share an opinion on why the UBK's opposition to the crossbow wasn't, at the end of the argument, going to hurt all bowhunters. At least Ispin could give us an another fantasy hunt story about how he leaves all the wounded deer in the woods when he shoots them with his crossbow. That one is still my favorite so far. I hope this debate stays in Kentucky and doesn't now spread to other states. All hunters can give a big "thank you" to UBK if it does.

As well informed as everyone on this site is suppose to be, I don't understand (well maybe I do, everyone is pretty touchy and personal about the xbow subject) that UBK is 'going around' Fish & Wildlife. For those educated, you know its not true, for those uneducated, get educated. There is, and always has been, an appeal process in place for ANY decisions that come out of the KDFWR Commission. Most folks simply throw up their hands and say "Well, the commission said..." and leave it at that. If the Commission passed a million dollar bonus as a going-away present to T. Bennett, do you think 'it is written?' Nothing they do is etched in stone. And Multi knows that, I would think he'd educate his followers on that instead of trying to say UBK is opening stuff to the antis, guys, that's pure BS.

More lies from the UBK. The campaign started with the UBK and Strader urging people to call the Gov. and Sec. Host. Is that the normal process? NO, it's not as Koeppel could tell you. Yes, the decisions are open to appeal, thought it's rare for one to be overturned. The last time anyone could remember an appeal of a hunting change was whrn the UBK protested the Oct. ML season change. We're still hunting with MLs in Oct. and it's a very popular season judging by the folks out that day and the number of deer killed then.

Walt wants you to believe that this is normal process. It's not. The normal process would have been for him to have attended the Committee meeting and voice his oppisition to the crossbow change then. Of course, he dropped the ball and didn't make that meeting, so he wants to cry foul because the "UBK didn't know". Everyone knows the Feb. Committee/Mar. Commission meetings are when deer/fall turkey regs are finalized and he should have been there.

As for the appeal, there's another decision being appealed by a group that wants to keep exotic dangerous animals. Shows what can happen when the Commission is taking lightly and their hands tied because a small group doesn't like what was decided.



Guys, send in your dues for the UCBK. I need to get us affiliated before the LKS convention so that we'll have voting powers. We need a few more members to make it happen. Keep the interst coming and the mo up. Calls to your Commissioners are still import. Show you confidence in them and the system. Thanks

joekat46 - I don't speak for UBK, and frankly I'm not quite sure why you and Kansas and Willie and so many other out-of-staters are so worried about a Kentucky issue, but I may be able to answer your questions. However, I'm not sure I exactly understand your concerns. I'm not sure what UBK has actually said that offends you so much and might "hurt all bowhunters". Do you simply take issue with the fact that UBK is opposed to crossbows during the archery season? Do you understand the way the regulatory process works in Kentucky?

I've read posts about the legislature or Governor's office getting involved and that "politicians" will somehow taking over the regulation of hunting. Is that your concern? If so, what prevents anti-hunting groups from taking this route right now? If you don't believe the commission is a political bureaucracy, I'd love to hear why.

Other than what you've read on Kyhunting.com, are you aware of how this particular regulation was introduced and passed? Do you know whether it was the product of legitimate administrative action?

Furthermore, Multi made this comment: "The last poll I saw on the subjest showed that 87% of the people in Ky. support hunting, even if they don't hunt. Seems pretty safe to me?" What politicians are going to buck that amount of overwhelming public support for hunting and commit political suicide by taking steps to eliminate hunting?

Multi -Glad you're back. I made a few attempts to fill the void but could not/still haven't gotten a legitimate explaination of why ANYONE thinks this debate has not hurt bowhunting and hunters in general. My personal opinion keeps getting reinforced - The UBK is by far the most selfish self-serving bunch to come along in some time. All bows kill the same way. Period.
If the crossbow season is expanded and finalized there should be no shortage of members to the UCBK. I do hope we can act smarter than our arch enemy group. Suicide is not on my agenda.
Unlike some of the ostrich imitators on here I have five anti-hunting web sites bookmarked. When this debate is mentioned, it will be, I'll be the first to let you all know. Pretty steep a price to pay to keep exclusive use of the September through mid October bowhunting there UBK. I never realized UBK opposed the early muzzleloader season - what was I thinking?

P.S. - "Buckfever", I lived in KY for 9 years and still have assets there. Anything that gives fuel to the antis is a concern of mine and all of us "out of staters" especially the ones who primarily hunt the lands under FEDERAL ownership such as LBL, FT. Campbell, and Clarks River NWA. The politicians in KY aren't the threat but the Federal Judges that will want to know why, if the extremist aren't given the same rights of appeal/ammendment to hunting regulations on these FEDERAL lands, will be. This is no longer a Kentucky issue. It is a hunting issue that will spill far from Kentucky's borders.

I explained that I was born in KY and my folks moved to Indiana when I was in my early childhood. I hunt a LOT in KY.

I pay for a license just like you do only a tad more.

I also hunt with a crossbow with a physically challenged permit..

Since I started hunting with a crossbow I have found they are NOT the evil machine of the devil. All those years I had been sold a bucket of slop by other bowhunters AND bowhunting organizations merely because they are selfish people. Stupid me, I believed them. I am not saying ALL bowhunters, but quite a few.

The night of the radio show, Buck was on there preaching to anyone who would listen to make the calls to the Govenor and to the Sec. Host. Sec. Host put Mr. Hensley in charge of looking into what and why. Now, Buck good friend Tom Bennett is out of a job. Maybe it was the last straw, maybe unrelated? We won't know. Yes the Commission is political, Everything in Frankfort is political. We've had anti-hunters try to breech the Commission before, so anything they do is a possiblity. If these appeals are allowed to suceed, then we'll no doubt get more invasions. The Commission decision needs to stand or the Commission itself is weakened. The very system will be a weak link and subject to attack from outside. Where will buck and his friends be then? Time will tell.

More lies? Grow up Tom. You of all people should quit throwing those stones, because you definitely live in a glass house. Get you facts straight before you post 'more lies'. UBK never appealed the ML season. I was there, you weren't. And its not that 'rare' for a commission ruling to be overturned. The most recent was only a few years back when the commission passed that the Pioneer Weapons only area would no longer allow compounds. It passed the commission but was overturned through the appeal process when lots of irrate bowhunters from the area heard about it and called their representatives. And I never cried foul because UBK didn't know. We knew, that's why we fought tooth and nail for 30 days after the committee meeting to stop the introduction of another weapon into the archery season. The commission simply made light of a large user group and did not vote the constituent majority. You should tell these folks the truth that I've been doing the lobby thing in Frankfort for a heck of a lot longer than you, and that you even called me for help on one occassion because I was in the 'know' in Frankfort. That's before you decided to jump in as a one man band who is mister know-it-all when it comes to whats good for the sportsmen. Sad thing is I thought when I first meet you several years ago that you might be a welcome to Frankfort, boy, did that bite me in the ass.

I for one am getting a little tired of the UBK and the people who claim to be speaking for them. They come here and make some of the most outrageous claims. They tell us that they were founded to fight xbows. Well that may very well be, but they sure are not proud of that start. At least they don't talk of it on their website. Instead, they sound like sportsmen who are fighting for ALL sportsmen. Here is just a sample from their "about us" area of their website:

"United Bowhunters of Kentucky was founded because of the need to protect and promote bowhunting in Kentucky. However, along the way we found these aims could not be accomplished without spending our time to teach old as well as new bowhunters a code of ethics.

We were not concerned with the type of equipment an individual would choose to carry, but rather the attitude these individuals carried."

From what I've seen here on KentuckyHunting they are very concerned about the "type of equipment", even going so far as to try to outlaw some archery equipment from archery season. If they lie on their own website about their motives I question if the rank and file UBK members know what their leaders are doing and exactly what their dues monies go for.
My memory is not as good as it once was, but I seem to remember that the big fuss when UBK was formed was the introduction of the compound, not the xbow. At least that's what it was when I joined.

Walt.... Let's take a differant senero of the way the vote for has came in. Let's just say I teach a high school computer class 80% of my class are boys. I mention this crossbow poll to some of the kids. One boy in his spare time goes to the UBK web site and see's the poll. Now he has several friends in that same class that hunt. Boy number 1 is a yes vote, he tell's his friends and one by one they line up to vote. Not being able to vote more than once per computer as you stated it was set up now they find a way to reset and let each and everyone vote thier choice. Would not several votes come off the same IP address ? Your UBK poll and the manipulations of the numbers just shows me, the UBK likes to only accept votes that are cast the way they want.

There is one fact that ol' Ben Franklin had right. We must all hang together or we will most assuredly hang separately. Hunting in all forms is under constant attack by various groups that would like to see all hunting eliminated. We as hunters need to figure out how to work together, not wasting time and energy attacking each other.

As hunters, we all need to become spokesmen for our sport and portray it in a positive light. And our sport is hunting.

UBK never appealed the ML season. Maybe not? I don't know. that's what the I was told by Mr. Hensley. I'd believe him over you at this point. I do know at least one of you buddies is still whining about getting screwed on that one, so I know it's still a sore spot.

And I never cried foul because UBK didn't know. Your cohorts sure have, especially the Strader show bunch.

You'll have to refresh my memory on that one. I sure don't remember asking you for help on anything?

That's before you decided to jump in as a one man band who is mister know-it-all when it comes to whats good for the sportsmen. That would be ALL sportsmen, not one select user group. And thanks for the compliment.

Sad thing is I thought when I first meet you several years ago that you might be a welcome to Frankfort, boy, did that bite me in the ass. Too fricken bad. Maybe you'll learn better next time, before you launch a smear campaign against someone because they have a different point of view.

Joe - The extremists already have the exact same rights that you're talking about.

I'm limiting myself to one session per day on this forum so my replies won't always be timely.

Yes - they do now have that exact right BUT they very rarely try to exercise it, especially in a state like Kentucky. They are still reeling from their losses in both Ohio voter referendums (dove and trapping) and don't want to risk further embarrassment in the mid west. It hurts their fund raising. Thank the U.S. Sportsmens Alliance for both defeats.
If this crossbow ruling is reversed, for no biological reason, their foot will be in the door. It will set a precedent on how to whine away or reduce a season by going straight to the Governor,Legislature or sympathetic Federal Judge. The best defense against this is for the Commissioners rulings to be "gospel". Many of us "old timers" remember when as a part of the LBL hunter's info we received instructions on how to deal with anti-hunting demonstrators. The federal land managers know they are more vulnerable to attack. As an aside the crossbow is not legal in LBL and IMHO won't be even if this decision stands. The LBL deer herd doesn't appear to need further cropping. Most other areas of the state aren't in this position and an additional crossbow harvest won't hurt a thing.

And Dan..you can go back to Minn now...too bad you jumped the fence on weapons..but you did get quite some perks from the industry over your stance..you probably don't remember me..but you even called my house several years ago and we talked an hour how glad you were that Ky. allowed 40+ days for crossbow use..and that handicapped could use them exclusively..that was your big agenda back then..and then we talked again at the ATA..and things started changing..it was no longer for just handicapped..was it Dan? yeah..the manufacturers really got you, didn't they? and you use to be a big time archery and bowhunter..even did an archery publication...too bad you no longer can connect to what bowhunting is about..Multi said it best I guess at the commissioner meeting "Its not suppose to be hard",,,yeah...you just don't understand..so grab your crossguns and rejoice.
No the bowhunters are not whiney babies. The majority of bowhunters, like all hunters, are fantastic people (notice I said fantastic, not fanatic). It seems the leaders of UBK are doing the crying. Hell, if you guys had your way even the squirrel hunters would not be allowed in your woods during archery season. I'm sure you talked to (Dan?) and I'm sure he was happy about even the little concession given to xbows. But, just like you whiners do for your season, he wanted more. Nothing wrong with that is there? Maybe Dan was a bigtime archer and bowhunter, I don't know. But I can see why he would want to distance himself from some of you guys. I have said many times that this is not about a battle between vertical and horizontal bowhunters. It is about a very small percentage of whiners. Heck they are even a small percentage of their own organization. Why they can't give the new rules a chance, then present valid data to the commission is something I don't understand. Well maybe I do. If we look at all the states that have joint vertical and horizontal seasons we would be hard pressed to find any data that would reverse the commission's decision. So go ahead with your personal attacks, that is all you have.

I have listened to all of you complain about poachers and law breakers.
I have heard of all the ill-willed things that you would or would wish to be done to them. You guys sicken me to the core.

You stand beside them.
You call them friend.
You send them money.
you let them represent you.
you defend them to your neighbor.

All of you followers can take your lack of testicular fortitude, and follow Tom Conley to the end.
Be one with him, but shame yourself in bashing poachers and law breakers. Be filled with decitfullness as you disrespect all of us who stand for what we believe in. And as you allow your thoughts to be negative towards people who speak of the truth, remember, if you stand beside them, you are one of them.

Be a poacher supporter and join the clubs and events that he holds.

This guy may be Tom's biggest fan and supporter yet:D I stand beside Tom as a friend. We disagree on xbows to a certain degree but I don't think he[Tom] is the anti-Christ.

I fear we have had our tree shaken and all sorts of nuts have fallen out:eek:

I dont own one because I dont own one. And because modern firearms are not used during bow season would apply to the same as crossbows not in bow season.I am not against xbows. I am not for them in the bow season though. I am not against guns. I own them and hunt with them. I am not for them in bow seaon though. Bow season is bow season like frog season is frog season. Would anyone like to change some other seasons. If you wish to hunt during BOW season then purchase a bow. If I were to choose to hunt during xbow season then I would purchase one and use it. I think that xbow season is great. I think that all seasons are great when they come in. I am not trying to change things though. If you are disabled, you can use a gun year round in my opinion. I dont think a single soul is complaining about the disabled.

And extreme.....I dont support him to awful much huh. Tom and I have had our problems. Hell me and several have our problems. Look at Willie. Oh silly Willie.
If you wish to stand beside him, thats your perogative. I just thinks its funny how some guys sit on here on complain but dont stand up for what they preach. SPINELESS. And then they make these remarks like silly Willie.

I bet if you archieve these post about trespassers, then youll find the same people who are complaining about it are Tom biggest buddies. Funny if you ask me.
Normally Ive been booted by now. I am only allowed 2 post and then my name gets shucked. Silly Willie, call Tom Thumb, get him to ask Bad Chad to give me a swift kick right in the booty. If that dont work.... press SKY ALT DELETE. That will usually work. Hell they are all twin brothers.

What's wrong with a jack ass? With fuel prices going up every day and four wheelers costing more than my truck I would like to have a good one.

It could help "mow' my yard and drag out deers out the hollers. And if nothing else if we all run out of things to argue and fight over we could have jack ass pulls.

Of course multi would have an un fair advantage just because he would come up with some type of genetically altered breeding stock that could pull a mature Oak out of the ground:D
