Seadog: I feel the exact way about hunting as you. My life seems to revolve around it, months of preparations, money mostly gets spent on hunting stuff, etc. That' s why I make a conscious effort to study the rules & regulations every year before and during the huting season. I feel so much more confident in defending myself if I know exactly what I can and can' t do while shooting. Heck, I still drive with my guns on my gunrack in my truck! Ya, a lot of people don' t like it, but it' s my right and privledge and I' m gonna take advantage of it. A couple years ago, I was driving home with 3 deer in the back of my truck. I had to keep the tailgate down because of all the deer & gear in the back (it' s a reg. cab). I had so many bad looks as soon as I got into the city, but I just laughed and enjoyed my trip home with my deer. Well, right after I finished hanging them all, I had a fish & wildlife officer pull up and check me out. He said someone reported me having untaged deer. I laughed and told him to look at everything. After he checked he was pleased with everything I did. I told him to let the person know who reported me, to know what they are talking about before spouting off lies. He was on my side. It certainly sucks sometimes, but as long as I' m doing everything by the book, the naysayers can kiss my A$$. JDinAB
