You want to do away with drivin around shootin deer out of the truck? Do away with hi powered rifle hunting. Thats the one thing these folks all have in common is their weapon of choice.
I don't understand people on this site. Some douche came on here the other day bragging about a 1300 yard shot and a lot of people here congratulated him. What's more unethical, driving around shooting deer out of a truck or making 1300 yard shots at a deer. Same difference to me .
There's ZERO sport in rifle hunting so to all you folks who rifle hunt you deserve your fellow rifle hunters chasing your deer around in trucks. I can't tell you how many rifle hunting **** I've seen driving the roads and driving down creeks and edges. And you wonder why people who don't rifle hunt don't like rifle hunters.
Well since shooting out of a truck or from the road on land they have no right to hunt is illegal (poaching) and shooting a deer at 1350 yards on land he had permission on and had the right equipment and skills to do so isn't illegal....I'd say the first is alot more "unethical" It doesn't matter if you make it illegal to hunt with a rifle or not. These people are already breaking the law by killing deer (poaching) driving along and seeing and shooting deer on other peoples property. Why would they care what weapon they use. Oh maybe because you made it more illegal? Sorry that argument holds up just like anti-gun laws that are supposidly inteded to stop crime because now the gun they use to rob a store or murder someone is illegal.....Do you realy think I guy who intends to rob a store will think "I was going to rob that store but If I use this gun it would be wrong" They don't care!
There is a huge differnce between a guy legaly hunting and someone poaching. So call it what it is. Not Road Hunting, Poaching!
