Do you have something to back this up, or is this just your opinion?

I'm asking because too much crap has been passed because people said it couldn't happen instead of making sure it DIDN'T happen.

there is an article relating to this exact point on deerfear.com. Everybody gets called out, the dude's crazy.

Maybe it's just me but I clicked on the links to check out the articles and it was giving me errors. Could you please post those links again? I'd really like to spread the word about this issue. Thanks.

Hi Guy's, like to add my two cents worth. I have hunted since i can walk and i am now 46. I farm, raise beef, and i hunt deer and turkeys in OH and WV every year. I have been fortunate to hunt National forest DIY ELK in ID, DIY Pronghorn in WY on public land, as well as DIY ELK in CO on public land, from 2007 to this past season and i can say this. The slob hunters are F'ing it all up for everyone. We need to do a better job self-policing ourselves, speak up about this new threat from the politicians and civil servants, but run the truck hunting and ATV trail-jumpers, and litter-throwing, game-herding, guys shooting the place all up, sounds like World War Three all coming from one rifle, dis-respectful of other people and their camps, fools out of and off the public lands, then maybe we would have the respect of the public at large and the legislators. I remember when to be an outdoorsman or woman meant you lived up to a certain code of safety and ethics, now its all about the "Here's to me-screw you" attitude i see displayed by many, if not most of the other hunters i encounter out there. We as Hunters are in the publics crosshairs and we need to stay sharp and self police ourselves, we need to stay together to fight the gun and land grabbers. And we need to take kids outside and spend time with them right.?

"Excuse me Officer, am I being detained?"

What follows either repeats or said Officer goes away.

Eventually the United States is going to be like Europe and the only people that can afford to hunt are the royalty. I live in South Texas and you have to own a oil well in order to afford to hunt down here. Myself and a few buddies went on a DIY Mule deer hunt in Colorado in 2009 and unfortunately the area we drew was also an over the counter elk unit and there were litterally traffic jams on top of the mountain. Needless to say it was not a wilderness experience. We have since been building up preference points and are waiting to draw in a limited access area but it sucks to have to wait 5 years to hunt.

I have two little boys that I want to pass down the hunting heritage to but as a police officer my salary doesn't allow me to do that. I will never hire an outfitter because I enjoy the hunt as much as the actual harvesting of an animal plus I can't afford it and still send my sons to college. I've had to severely limit my big game hunting and almost exclusively waterfowl hunt.

I hope this legislation is killed and the working man still has a place to hunt.
