Have any of you seen the movie The Life of David Gale? In the movie a anti death penalty advocate played by Kevin Spacey let's himself get executed in an elaborate scheme involving the murder of another anti DP advocate. After his death it is then revealed that the murder was sucide and he was innocent pushing public sentiment towards the anti positition.

Do you think some of these stories about the wasting of game is actually the work of anti-hunting groups trying to create media coverage about gross wastes of wildlife (like hanging dead ducks in a tree off the road)? Could they be so desperate that they would go to an extreme length (even against their own ideology) to make hunters look bad and possibly shift public sentiment?

Personally I think it is slob poachers (they don't deserve to be called hunters) but the actions ofthese people is so beyond my comprehension that it makes me wonder why people act this way? For example, some guys in Oregon just got a BS slap on the wrist for dumping forty dead but intact geese off a road. The cops found the geese and a few days later the morons turned themsleves in. The court date was last week and they will not loose their hunting privledges and to add insult to injury the fine money went to the US Humane Society. The story made it up to Washington and the news paper called these guys hunters but in my opinion they are parasites sucking the hunting privledge and opportunity away from decent people.
