I don't blame you. Too much identity theft going on and no point in making it easier.

I wasn't much more than a kid, myself, senior in high school, when I started writing letters to TPWD about compounds and crossbows. Guess I've always been kind of a nutcase.

Has anyone by chance been following the thread on the bowhunting forum about who has broken game laws?? A whole bunch of people seem not to be doing it legally. I'll bash 'em for that, for sure. We ALL should. They deserve a royal bashing because they've earned it. Makes us all look bad by association.

Ethics are personal rules that a true sportsman follows, personal limitations over and beyond basic legalities . So, if people intentionally disobey game laws then, by definition, they cannot be ethical hunters.
