Well I look at it this way. Our state departments of wildlife and fish have sensible members within their ranks. They decide what is considered legal for taking game within the state. They take into account ethics and game management. I'm quite sure they are looking out for the best interests of the wildlife within the state. The terrain and how game is best persued is left up to their capable hands. I like to think that they are not influenced by any one religion or the special interests of any particular group of people. Hunting wasa way of like in the beginning and it continues today. Good sportsman respect game and isn't that what we are all supporting good sportsman.Sure we allhold ourselves to different standards and that is to be commended, but consider that there are standards that our government creates to be fair to all sportsman. So as long as a hunter or fisherman is operating within these standards he or she should be commended and accepted as a fellow hunter/fisherman.
Dogs if it is legal sure, bait if it is legal sure, crossbows if their legal sure because if they are within the law then more power to them! and Those anti-hunter groups have no right to interfere with law abiding citizens who are doing their part for wildlife conservation and enjoyment!!
