I could give less than 1/2 a crap what an anti thinks, I will not live in fear of them or worry about them. You can if you want to, I just won't do it. We are in the right and all of the stats, facts, information, etc back us up, besides that are numbers are greater.
Hate to burst your bubblebro, but this isnothing but naive...thank goodness all hunters don't think like you.
Facts and stats many time don't mean a hill of beans. It is not hard to find many, many instances where sound wildlife/fisheries biology and management is ignored and emotions/agendas win out with respect to hunting/fishing laws. Not only are the anti's numbers high, they have an enormous amount of money on their side...and they are constantly looking to convince the middle ground folks, non-hunters who have no opinion or just haven't made up their minds yet. It is those middle ground non-hunters that each and every hunter oughta think and worry about when it comes to hunter behavior/image.
Just like not shooting a giraffe, it certainly is your right to not give a crap about anti's and their agendas...but someday something will happen that will make you give a crap...that I would bet on.
You, and every hunter, oughta take a few minutes to follow this link to sign up for email updates on anti movements and call for actions across the country. If you think there isn't much to worry about, or much going on...these email alerts will show you how wrong you are.
