Stealth, your like a Pit bull dog, you get you teeth in something and you don't let up and your research shows that you have done your share of homework and I sincerily respect that, it says something about your character and integrity and I am not doubting your verasity on the argument. I do not know what has transpired between you and Mark by E-mail as I can only base my statements on what has been posted here on the board. If you two have kissed and made up,thats just Great. When the issue came on the ballot here in Montana regarding canned hunts I voted against it. So I am not one you are trying to convince.
I do "NOT" think it was correct in circumcizeing this guy on the board, the hunt Mark went on was a LEGAL HUNT in the state of NY, your going after the wrong guy and suggest that if this type of hunting bothers you or any others on the Band Wagon that much, then make the changes at the State/Provincial level to get these types hunts removed.
The key words here Stealth, is "Reflect Poorly". Who defines this?
I know how angry one may get to abolish this type of hunting because a lot of us are well seasoned hunters and have chewed dirt, briars and deal with the harsh winters, get kicked and the long hours in assiociated with our sport,(just a few obsticles) only to have someone shoot game within fences and make it appear to others that it may seem that it is really that easy, but we know how hard that we sweated to get this animal. It just does't come that easy, later on, Bobby
