BM I haven't seen anyone here kissing an antis rear, if there is I would love to see an example.

As others have touched on the keys to maintianing our rights to hunt are the following:

1. Act like an adult, respond to antis with cold hard facts, they are on our side.

2. Let the antis do the name calling and demonstrating, we have no need to.

3. Education of non-hunters is vital, as a result we all need to make sure we know what we are talking about and be able to back it up with verifiable facts.

4. When speaking with an anti ask them for verifiable facts about thier stance.

5. We represent hunters because we are hunters, we have a responsibility to all our bretheren to be ethical law abiding hunters.

6. Never stoop to the level of an anti and start name calling, any one who calls some one else a name in a discussion has admitted defeat.

7. We need to police our own ranks, turn in the law breakers and in the case of this public forum we need to boot the unethical hunters and get rid of their post.

8. We need to educate our families, our friends and our neighbors, as with most things in this world, education is key, ignorance is death.

BM on number 7 the reason this is true is not to kiss the anti's arse, it is to keep the anti from using it as ammo against us with a non-hunter.
