Thanks for the positive responses. I really hate to vent, but I just got tired of the negative trends that I am beginning to see here.
As gun owners and hunters I believe that we all have one thing in common, THE APPRECIATION FOR, AND THE LOVE OF A FINE GAME ANIMAL SUCH AS THE WHITETAIL DEER! Anytime I meet a stranger and find that they are hunters too, they are no longer strangers, but new friends with a common bond! That is why I am addicted to and love this board so much! Our focus should be on promoting fellowship, sportsmanship, conservation, and as I said before, to teach the non-hunting public that there is a big difference between legal hunting and poachers!
While the anti's know that there is a difference, (with their warped sense of values, they just don't care!) There are probably many non-hunters that would be sympathetic to our cause if they knew just how much REAL hunters love animals and that poachers are CRIMINALS that have no part in our fraternity!
Again, sorry for venting so much, but we need to fight the real enemies and not each other!
