Too many ANTI'S out there for us to cast stones at each other in my opinion.
If you want to give the anti's more ammo......... show dogs chasing a bear up a tree, and some so called hunter shooting it out of a tree. That's why it's illegal in Colorado now. Along with baiting. It will be the same in every state at some point.
As for casting stones? It's my right to give my opinion if I want to. I said I wasn't interested in watching it, and i'm not. You disagreeing with that is no better than what I said about bear hunting with dogs. So, how are you any better? You don't think anti's pick up on that?
I'm open minded about other methods too. Hunters are free to hunt as they please as long as it's legal. I'll do nothing to try and stop it, or change the laws. However, I will voice how I feel about it.
btw This has nothing to do with hunting for birds with a dog. The hunters are shooting the birds from the air. Not from a tree.
