Uncle Ted always has something smart to say. I like the post about the guy who was carp shooting, and talked to these two kids about bowfishing and got them interested in the sport. But i think that is our problem. Todays youth is not going out to the wild outdoors they are staying inside playing video games, and not experienceing the wild. And as those kids grow ingorant to the ways of hunting. And are easily convieced that hunting is not needed. Lets face it guys there are a lot more weekend worries out there who go hunting to shoot everything that comes up, wounding animals, not retrieving animals etc.. and gives us, true hunters a bad name, which makes those "not informed" people frawn upon hunting.
Something needs to be done about this. Not in just how we prevail ourselves in an arguement or discussion with a anti, but to the public who hasn't taken sides, we need to get those people informed. I know that some states have programs such as the outdoor arama, but a lot of states do not. I live in indiana now, and there is not a lot of information getting out to kids,parents, moms, dads, grandpas, grandmas to let them know of hunting and what it really is about. So what can I do, what can we do?
Sorry this is off the topic, but reading this got me thinking. And i agree with all you guys, we shouldn't be ashamed of our passions in life. Mine happens to be hunting and thats who i am, thats what i am... a hunter.
