Let’s throw in if you’ve ever used a rifle or shotgun to kill game if we are including a crossbow. Or anyone that uses. .444 marlin, .35 whelan or any other straight walled cartridge for primitive game weapons.

Honestly, why try and attack someone for using something you don’t “approve”.

Pretty shitty.

I had an uncle who served as my "old man" (if you've read Patrick McManus you will get that reference, if you ain't read him you oughta). He begrudgingly used a 4 HP sears outboard to fish when I was a kid...very sparingly. He didn't even know it was possible to put a battery in a boat...all it would do for him was add ballast, something completely unwanted in his boat where freeboard was an illusion of faith most of the time. Most of the time he sculled from the transom and never used the outboard. Unless the plan was to return back up the Chattahoochee. Prior to the completion of West Point dam he would scull back up the river in a pine jon boat he built himself. I fished a bunch with him in that boat. When I was 18 I bought him a Minn Kota 10 pound thrust 12V transom mount trolling motor....it was still clamped to the 2x4 he clamped it to the day he got it the day of his funeral. He could scull a boat for hours and catch bream on a fly rod without ever lifting the oar from the water. He taught me to scull a boat...one handed, never lifting the oar from the water. Trolling motors and outboards are for pussies....
