i can't disagree with this except to say that unless they had/have a decent teacher then they may think this is ok... kinda like kids that don't know not to touch the hot iron, will learn a lesson from it when they do... its unfortunate, but it is what it is... ya do what ya can, but when you know the other person isn't gonna take the advice you give, what's the point of pissing them off in some kind of confrontation... certainly some well chosen words would help the situation, but it seems that MANY MANY people lack the tact to breach a topic like hunters ethics in a polite and inoffenssive manner...

personally, I think it would go a long way for the sport if Gander, Bass Pro, Cabella's and etc. would really start pushing hunter education classes... surely the local hunting clubs (both gun and bow) would gladly donate some time to teach and help organize these classes... i think if the big box stores would start doing things like this on a large scale it might get the word out better... like the local gander gives you a free year of indoor practice if you buy your bow from them... maybe couple that with a training class that covers other non-shooting related topics like shot placement, ethics, land mgmt, etc...

I'm thinkin out loud here...
