I like you Frank, but the picture your trying to portray is an incorrect one.
Big C, I like you to, but I can only talk about what I hear.
Most instructors are old hunters and all of them tell the same story. One guy does something dumb and the green parties are on it like flies on sh1t. Blowing the whole thing up and the public opinion does the rest. Now who's to blame ?
You are right that we live in a small country where huntable land is hard to come by. We hunt under the public's nose. So we tread lightly.
But I have the same respect for foxes as for wolves, when they are managed like any other wildlife.
