RE: It's a real shame - please read
For too long, too many hunters are too concerned with the antis. Antis will not be the death of hunting, hunters will. I think it is not only prudent, but morally responsible for hunters to start calling out questionable and unethical hunting, legal or other wise. To say that we are all hunters and should stick togather is nonsense. Many of the practices by "hunters" I will not stand by or stick up for. I think some real positive things have transpired over the last few years. More and more threads are tackling issues like: canned hunts, commercialization, horn porn, and TV shows. In many ways we are privy to seeing trends right here on this board. The fact that more and more hunters are becomming hostile to certain aspects of the modern hunting culture is an early indicator of what's to come. Hopefully, members of this board will continue to voice their opinion in an articulate and respectful manner, and not succomb to the "lets all be one" mentality.
