People care because itsposted all over a public forum about hunting. This is a place to share your hunt, your equipment and your knowledge. Most of us will adamantly defend anything we believe in, or dont believe in. Youre right about it not being a competition and any game animal taken fairly will gain much praise on these forums. Theres something to be said about going into an animals habitat and coming out on top. Canned hunting is like getting a hooker, theres no thrill of the chase and the trophy youre left with is less than pleasant.
If youre a liar or do something less than sportsmanlike, youd better have a flame suit on.
In other words, if your secure in yourself, and your abilities, and look for your own thrill in your own hunts, it doesn't matter what a 7 year old with a spear is doing or some rich VP shooting a 180" buck.
I have seen it all on these forums. People want to push thier own ideals on others, cause it validates thier own, and if other do not agree, they feel insecure. Its really that simple.
I don't like high fense hunting, so I don't do it, I don't like baiting, so I don't do it, I sure don't like deer drives, so I don't do it. But others get pleasure from all these practicses. It works for them. Its like trout stocking. Same thing, I do it, I have no shame. Preserve quail hunting. I do it, and no shame in it.
I am just not so ready to jump on the "banning", this or that bandwagon. I love living in a country where I can be a slob hunter killing an animal in an enclosed fense and then taking pictures of it like I really hunted it.
You can't look for praise off an internet forum to drive your life.
