I've done a pretty good job of explaining myself on how the effects of this issue could be devastating to hunters. Or at least I thought I did.[&:]

SS&S is not a hunting term. Never was from what I can tell , around here anyway. SS&S is used mostly by landowners/farmers who have continueous problems with varmints on their property.

Less than a month ago we had well over 100 pages of debate concerning the crossbow , and the two biggest proponents in that thread were using terms like "we need to stop dividing hunters" , and "we need more hunters in the woods". And the very title of that thread , "please tell me one negative..."[&:]
Here we are a month later and the two people mentioned in that thread are proponents for turning the kitty cat issue into a hunting issue.

It would however multiply the very reasoning behind why you feel we hunters NEED new hunters. Because it would grow our enemy much larger than what it is now. If the feral cat issue remains a "hunter issue" I'll be awaiting your thread titled ..."please tell me one negative to.."
