One reason I feel we are not getting the credibility we deserve as hunters is they way we put forth our side of the argument.

Remember the Alt side show? "Hunters" showing up in dressed like redneck hillbillies going to their sisters a shot gun wedding.

The people that opposed this plan from the start did so through scrams , threats and intimidation. Not exactly how educated folks carry on a conversation.Remember the jokes about Dr. Alt wearing a bullet proof vest? Yea like we are going get taken seriously, by whom?

Now that we are years into it and its obvious to most that adjustments need made we are ignored or worse called greedy blood thirsty killers that care nothing about the environment.

We need to act as "one" and a far better "one" than has been leading the charge, the pendulum swings both ways and its about time it starts back the other way.

But please when you speak, If you must, be polite,be informed and act as if you are talking to your mother instead of a child molester. No one wants screamed at, and you will change no ones mind by comparing them to tofu.
