Default RE: Disturbing sign

At first, I agreed with you and felt that all hunters were being stereotyped because of a relatively small group of morons with guns/bows. But the more I thought aboutit, the more I realized that many people in the general public already take it for granted that hunters drink, sometimes before, and usually after a hunt. Furthermore, some actually do hit the woods intoxicated. That's what's truly disturbing, not aroad sign with a PSA.

I'm now worried less about the public getting the wrong idea about hunters from the sign and more worried about actual hunters drinking and making us all look fools. If you don't drink and hunt, then that sign's really not for you. Just take it as a reminder to set the right example for your fellow sportsmen. That's the only thing that will really foster positive opinions abouthunt safety.

Oh, and I had a pair of Juenglings after last Friday's hunt. After the deer were dressed and dropped at the butcher, the rifle was unloaded and cleaned, and I was in my lounging sweats and far away from any and all cameras. Seems prettty common sense to me.
