RE: It's a real shame - please read
The debate can get a little "spirited" around here, but in the end, I think USUALLY the participants are able to take a step back, after the initial heated back and forth and agree to disagree. On the other hand, as "the cat" above said, places like this are great for hunters to meet and to debate (argue perhaps). Where else can this many hunters get together and express themselves and although I know that some (me included) have to be "reined in" now and then, I think if possible, we should let MOST of the debates resolve themselves or run out of momentum (which they will). I think though that we can keep it on a less personally insulting level at times. There are things within the "hunting community" that we should stand against, mainly concerning what is fair for the animals that, although we hunt and kill on occasion, we dearly love and to protect this way of life from those who would try to corrupt it for greed or for their own notion of "the natural world". just an opinion.
