webbclan....

Yourabove statement is unwarrented in this issue. First off, while there has been alot of mudslinging and name calling and high school style drama on this whole subject, not just on this board but everywhere, there are those of us that are serious about finding a common ground that protects boths sides interests with being one sided toward one side or the other.

There are issues that do need addressed desperatly and there are some that are being blown out of proportion on both sides of this and if you read my posts on the subject you know I would love to see some changes made as it effects me in a few ways. as a still hunter, as a houndsmen and as a leasee of land.

IF you look at this and the other threads from the begining you would see that some of the parties involved (or have a stake in the matter) are starting to stop swinging their sword at everyone else and are starting to try to work together to work to viable solutions.. will these every happen, I certainly hope so but I can not predict the future so I dont honestly know. I do know that there will be people who will work toward this goal, and some that still want to bicker and fight like school girls (and help the anti's cause by showing weakness in our ranks) but hopefully cool heads will prevail.

Then there are those who are standing on the outside and just want to throw stones or stir the pot. Maybe they have shortman syndrome or anger managment issues and find an outlet by watching others fight and argue these people are not wanted or needed by any. Such people might as well hold a PETA membership because they are helping to divide hunters which is a PETA tactic.

I see that you are from Ok... some great hunting out that way I have heard. I am sure it could keep a man busy with all the chances to hunt out there that it amazes me that someone from out there could keep up to date and be fully knowledgable about issues in other states. If you currently or in the past have held a VA hunting permit(or are a landowner who is directly effected)and have actually enjoyed the wonderful ground this great state has, then please tryto keep from interjecting with a pot stirring agenda in a much heated affair in our state, or any other state that you dont have a legit stakehold in.

Dont take it as a personal attack, just take your pot stirring to subject you have a tangible interest.

Thanks
