The end of the matter is, we need every ethical law abiding hunter we can get.
I agree, Joe. And every law abiding trapper, spear hunter and general citizen. I in NO WAY put down gun hunting in that statement. Some people like redheads....some prefer brunettes. It was made (in jest) and was simply stated asa matter of preference. The ONLY way you can be offended by such a statement....is if you choose to be. It was not meant in that light.
There are PLENTY of people in this world that think th way we hunt (bow) is barbaric, "idiotic", etc... . As long as they're being factual in their assessments of what we REALLY do.....their opinion on bowhunting (to me) doesn't offend me.
"To each his own". My son hunts with a gun. I have. I just have no interest in it any more. I'd fight with my $$ and my voicefor your right to do it, though.
