It was a simple question SoutherStrut not an accusation.

Perhaps you missed the point. An anti could say that high powered rifles with scopes slinging lead 300 yards doesn't look sporting as well. Would you say that? Fact is, we are our own worst enemies. We want what we want and no unlike the elephant thread or the baiting bears thread our own are denouncing a legal hunt as "not sporting" "unethical", etc...which side are as hunters on? Seems to me, (not pointing at you) that we are against one another.

That's why I say, although I choose not to do it (and I state no reasons that can be used against us) I'm thankful that those who choose to, can. Be it elephant hunting, baiting bears, deer, use rifles or whatever. I may choose or choose not to but I won't be against it.

I hope that clearifies and doesn't point at you.
