Point being... if you are losing sleep over the legal harvest of animals and find yourself concerned enough to badger other sportsmen then you my friend ARE an anti. If your heart aches for every mangy coyote I throw in a ditch then youareNOT on my team in the battle to support my hunting and trapping rights. If you honestly don't understand the concept of nuicense and vermin control then your grandaddy didn't do a very good job of introducing you to the world of the outdoors.
Real sportsmen don't need an excuse to pursuit their passion... and they don't need to explain themselves to your type.
No, I'm not losing sleep over it, I couldn't care less about what you shoot. And no, I'm not badgering anyone, I just asked for the reasons behind it, which I understand a little better now. I said off the bat that I understand killing of nuisance animals. And I grew up in the outdoors, anytime you want we'll go rock climbing, spelunking, river kayaking, snow or water skiing, mountain biking, and/or 3-6 month backpacking trip. Also done quite a bit of fishing.
So I've always been busy enough with other things and never got into hunting. But it keeps coming up and every year I get a little more interested, this year I'm planning a hunting trip. So what is my "type"? I'm just glad other hunters are a little more friendly, encouraging, and helpful with newcomers' questions. Otherwise, someone might think it a good idea to (very stupidly) go out and shoot caged deer with a tranquilizer dart!
