"this is my only chance to get a turkey and we'll be having dove hunters hunting..."
"...who in their right mind would hunt dove when they can bow hunt,"
"it'll screw bow hunting up,"
"who's to stop someone from bringing a slug with em and popping a buck..."
Sorry but this all soundeda little like whining to me. Another example of division amongst the hunting community. I just found it very interesting that because they were not bow hunting they are messing up YOUR hunt and likely to poach deer with slugs etc. If you are truely "passionate about ALL hunting,"... you wouldn't make posts that make non-bowhunters out to be unsafe intruders. It hurts us all.
for one it's a fact that deer/turkey dont like to hang out in areaswith guns going off.... and it is my ONLY chance, stating a fact not whining....
the second quote, well you got me there,i was thinking of opening morning of a 3 day hunt....the odds of getting these hunts are limited to 50 people, most would not choose to dove hunt then....there are alot of places where you can walk in and dove hunt wihtout the hassle of putting in for a permit, why go through the trouble of putting in for a permit there just to hunt dove was what i was trying to say....
thirdly......i have busted folks from that town myself on more than one occassion poaching, they are poachers, not the hunters i was referring too, there is a difference...i wouldnt put it past 30% of the population there...
like i said it'll be a COLD DAY IN HELL........ if they have the balls to walk through the swamps and sawgrass to get to where i hunt for doves, tehn so be it,but iseriously doubt it,so NOOOOOOOOOO, they wont be screwing up MY HUNT....they will likely be other hunters that have thier hunts screwed up....
i wont watch what i say, if people misunderstand what i am trying to say then so be it, do what you did and quote me and i'll explain why i said it......anyone that knows me knows hunting is EVERYTHING to me, all kinds of hunting, they KNOW i'm probably the most passionate hunter they know, i'm out there bow hunting, muzzy hunting, small game hunting, general gun hunt, i even hunt hogs with dogs and a knife, i'm passionate , believe me, and just for the record, it's not a killing thing to me either, Lord knows my freezer would have meat in it if i were....dont want you to think anymore false things.......
