""No matter whether it's timber interests,birdwatchers [:'(], farmers, homeowners, drivers or whatever. Without the support of that 90% we,re finishedand rest assured, no matter what hunters think, the 90% out there believes that there are either too many or enough deer. ""
I have many friends and family members that dont hunt, yet support me and my views 100% in regards to hunting. Id bet just about every other hunter in the state could say the same. DO that 900,000 times and we ARE NOT in the minority. Keep spewing the ecoextremist and antihunter rhetoric which they rely on to spread their lies and deciet and you arent doing anyone any good.[:'(] Audubon was one of the first to spew the "tiny minority of hunters against the world" propaganda.And pgc extremist supporters are all to happy to spread that sentiment.[:'(]
I agree 100%,,,when i first moved from pa. to va i couldnt find a person that hunted,,,,today,,,im overwhelmed with the amount of hunters i have met,,,i used to be scared that our sport was going to he!!,,,but in retrospect,,,i find that it's growing uncontrollably,,,i used to be able to find a hunting spot just by driving down the road and talking to a land owner that was out mowing his yard,,,,today,,,,,that same landowner tells me his land is leased to a hunt club,,,i look at that as a loss for me personally,,but i also look at it as a gain for the hunting community as a whole,,,,,
