Hillbilly,I am going to quote you here but these questions are not directed to you and only you because I see that so many are absolutely against this league. More along the lines of general questions for everyone.
Both must be treated with the utmost respect.
So why then, if catch and release is so wrong,is it ok for people to obviously disrespect the fish and not the deer?
However, no hunter I know practices catch and release hunting, so why have these idiots start some new trend that can onlylead to perpetuating "big business hunting" and deteriorating ethics.As I said, I don't particularly like those Bass tournaments but some outdoorsman do.
Why not?It isare obviously OK, or at least not"wrong" toputing fish through the "tortures" of being caught and released so why not animals? Why is "big business fishing" ethically sound but "big business hunting" isn't?
BTW,fishing and hunting are exactly the same thing. You arein persuit of an animal in the hopes of capturing or killing it for food or fun.The only differance is that one animal lives in the water and the other on the land.
Like I said, I am not in favor of this league but morallyand/ orethically it makes absolutely no sense for anyone to support catch and release fishing and oppose catch and release hunting.
