RE: Poachers are NOT HUnters!!!
It is truly staggering how quick we as HUNTERS are to fire upon each other regarding ethics and legallity. I am confused as to what stance I am to take. What is right or wrong? What is ethically legal and what is un-ethically legal? I know in my heart what I should do and how I should act when hunting or when teaching someone to hunt. I have never wanted to stand on a perch and preach down to my brothers of the bush on how they should proceed to take deer. I know what the laws are in my state and I hunt within them. I also know the feelings I get if I harvest a young buck or doe and how I feel if I harvest a mature deer.
JagMagMan' s statements can not be any more true. He made a statement about how we should band together as hunters and not consistantly criticize each other for our legal methods. In the VERY FIRST RESPONSE gkferris did just that.
I have a question. What will it take for us to stand together as we should?
I started another thread about Baiting a week or two ago and BAM!...Insults on peoples integrity and ethical values.
Again, What will it take?
