I personally DON'T don't want to be associated with certain hunting practices that give hunting a black eye.
2) Big Business is buying/leasing up the land driving UP the cost of leases
3) Because of 1&2 hunting is now a bait and sit sport where hunters are confined to so many sq ft and no free ranging hunting is allowed
Yes its legal.....
