I agree in principle, but disagree with the application. To simply put a blanket of condonement on any and all types of 'hunting' is not th eanswer. Standardization, a common understanding of ethical practices, educated and well spoken representatives, and coopertion among any and all law enforcement, game management officials is the answer. There are things that go on in the hunting community that need to be regulated and controlled. To extend a carte blanche , 'whatever floats your boat' approach will accelerate and fule the antis. If they see us stepping to teh plate , and in solidarity voice our opinions and even better, take some action against these questionable practices, then it will confuse them and take away one of their greatest weapons against us. There is a pereption problem that needs remedying, and there are PR problems that need remedying, and there are practices that need to be stopped. It will take more of an effort to do this, but taking this acceptance of anything titled 'hunting' is ludicrous. We need to be leaders and strong men that are willing to take on the challenge of making some difficult steps to bring some honor and integrity to th eout of control and down spiraling effect that has seen hunting become a circus act on many of the outdoor channels, and such self correcting, self policing as I have seen take place among dog hunters, who admitted that there was a problem and have taken it upon themselves to form a group of responsible measures to clean up their act is what I am talking about. In S Ga, these guys were losing their rights due to irresponsible practices, and a disregard for the laws and people's properties as well as still hunters. It was putting a great deal of pressure on them, and they were losing county after county--until they got self regulated, and cleaned up their act. This is what we as hunters in general need to do--not bury our heads in the sand and sit around campfire singing kumbayah! Speak up and clean up!
