fletch, doves are portrayed in the bible as a bird of peace, people feed them at their feeders in town, and the state would not benefit financially from opening up a dove season.
Conjecture.
I do not have an in your face attitude.
False Statement
10 % of the people are anti hunters, the other 20 % are hunters and fisherman.The 60% of thepeople in the middle don't look at this site, watch hunting shows, or watch Teds realty show.
A few facts. It has been said that there are 3 types of lies. Lies....Damn Lies....and statistics. It's also widely accepted that 92.764% of all statistics are made up on the spot. I usually like for my PERCENTAGES to equal 100% though.
HCH, You pointed out that Iowa is so rich in hunting and resources that we have nothing to worry about. My point is, if the hunting community is so strong here why cant we get something as simple as a dove season? Your response lacked any form of substance.
Don't let the truth get in the way of a good story, now.....
Everyone is entitled to an opinion and I respect that but you should never ignore the facts when debating an issue.
That's beautiful......can I use it? AGAIN?????
The facts are, the majority of sportsmen agree that "discretion is the better part of valor."
Again.....beautifully said.
Again, I applaud your well founded passion but think it is a little misdirected.
Don...I've said this all along. I applaud your passion.......but I agree with Fletch. And ....honestly.....would you feel the same if Iowans felt the same way about "bible deer"? Would it be so easy to write off not hunting deer? You're a 2nd amendment guy......would you like it if the anti's got assault rifles banned? Why not? Why do you so non-chalantly discount the lack of a dove season, then??? It's a good correlation.
