Default RE: Shoot ourself in our own feet. No offense rob.

I agree with most of what has been said and with the article originally posted. We as sportsmen need to be ever vigilant in our action to portray ourselves in a good light to everyone. We all are ambassadors of our sport and need to constantly work to allow it to continue. Playing into the hands of Antis only diminishes our credibility and gives them power. Using common sense in transporting your deer helps to keep a low profile and not cause undue stress to people who oppose our way of life. One bad move by any of us and a piece of land gets posted which is an action that is extremely hard to change. Being good stewards of the land and giving thanks to the people who allow us to hunt their lands is important. Unfortunately lots of land becomes unavailable due to disputes and theft between hunters. Many landowners don't really want to be a referee and stop all permission just to make it easy for them.
