RE: Anti Hunters!
ORIGINAL: Follower The uninformed liberal anti will continue to be just that. Short of divine intervention, they are not going to change their toon, and they are about the most passionate motivated people their are when it comes to pushing their beliefs and rights onto you. We, as ethical hunters can continue to stick together, but we tend to be people that want to do are own thing, and not bother anyone else. Pretty much the opposite of the anti. It will always be an uphill battle. Here in Idaho, archery hunting is getting a bigger and bigger following because of the great opportunities, and freedoms. The most passionate and motivated group of hunters here appears to be the archery crowd. Muzzleloading will most likely be a thing of the past before long, at least as far as special seasons go, due to the lack of passion and dwindling numbers of muzzleloader hunters. All we can do is continue to fight the good fight, never be afraid to state our opinions, but wait till the correct open forums present themselves. My wife happens to be a non-hunter, not an anti, so I deal with these arguments all the time. Always take the high road on this debate, don't give into the petty side of things, and things will work out just fine. This is, and always be, my belief. Hunt ON!! |
RE: Anti Hunters!
I misunderstood what Bryan was talking about and want to back peddle a little bit after reading his response to my post.
I'm in agreement that we should be able to have fun in here and bust each other's chops without worrying about anti's. It's easy when you are having on-line conversations for people to misunderstand each other and respond with out knowing the whole story. I personally wish I showed even half as much passion protecting our sport as I do participating in it. There are a lot of non-hunters that have no problem at all with what we do. I'm a single guy and I'll go on ates with women who are non-hunters and one of the first things I tell them is that I hunt and fish and love doing it. the surprising thing is that even women who do not believe in hunting have no problem that I hunt. now, maybe they are just saying that because they are single and trying to get their hooks in me and maybe change me. Or, maybe they actually have no problem with hunters but everyone around them has been telling them from an early age that hunting is bad. When I ask them why they do not like huntingI haven't had a single one actually come up with a good reason and they actually look at me a little confused. Most just say, "I just don't." I believe that people in general can be sheep. Going through life believing in things without ever wondering why. I believe that most hunters are the opposite of that. We know why we love to hunt. In general we have more passion for wildlife than any anti hunter ever will. we show that by paying for most of the Refuges, State Parks, State Game Landsand Wildlife conservation areas. I think Tred Barta is a little wacky. However, if any of you watched his Moose hunt this past weekend he talked about the anti's buying hunting camps under false pretenses and turning them into refuges. They buy the land tax free using our money most of the time with grants. Now isn't that a kick in the n#t$? |
RE: Anti Hunters!
My thoughts exactly. We have to stop being PC and stop giving them ammunition to keep coming against us.

RE: Anti Hunters!
ORIGINAL: tkycaller I do not think I offend non hunters by telling them I am a hunter. It is the antis that are offended. I look at it like religon. If you are of a certain religon (christian, muslim or whatever)that is fine. Just don't try to push it on someone who does not want to hear it. Same goes for hunting. If they ask about it, tell them all about it. If they don't ask don't tell...Just my weird way to look at the world we live in. I had a 54yr old lady ( non hunter obviously )give me a right talkin too when i turned up at myhunting ground withmy camo . HER WORDS ... how can something sobeautiful do somethingso horrible , likekilling animals . So after thanking her for the compliment ( me beautiful ...  ) , i explained why i hunt and kill animals and that certain animals do damge to crops and ground . I also told her that i usually eat what i kill , so i'm not hunting for pure pleasure . After 40 minutes of chatting , we actually came to an agreement and she even asked what rabbit and squirrel taste like . Its all a matter of how you speak to people or approach them . Amen :) |
RE: Anti Hunters!
ORIGINAL: Colorado Luckydog I'm getting tired of these stupid anti remarks!! We are freaking hunters! We are not politicaly correct! From this moment on I'm going to tell every single person that says, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE POSTED THAT, IT'S FUEL FOR THE ANTIS, just how sissyfied the statement sounds! We should stand up against theantis and we should do our part as ethical hunters, but we don't have to be a bunch of pansies!!!!! JMHO |
RE: Anti Hunters!
I'll just look at them and ask "what's in your lunch bucket today?"

RE: Anti Hunters!
I'd like to add something. I'm of the younger generation of hunters, and like most of us our age, we were raised to hunt. Our fathers, grandfathers, and so on took the time to take us out and share the outdoors with us so we too can experience what they did. But not everyone has the oppurtunities I've had to hunt growing up, I've just made it a point that whoever I can teach about hunting, whether younger/older-hunter/non-hunter etc., will make us stonger as a group. (Justthis past year Igot my buddy to start hunting at the ageof 20, and he loves it.) Hunting is a passion of mine that I will forever hold as my time with nature and God's creations. I have, and will always stand for what I believe. What baffels me, is that the amount of people think that hunters just go out in the woods andkill animals. They don't understand the conservation part or the amount ofknowledge and respect we gain for wild game. It's our job to inform them.Enjoy our rights....ourpassion, our religion. Stick together, cause no matter how different we might all hunt we're still all related!

RE: Anti Hunters!
I can understand were the anti,s are coming from . They talk about animals and nature ,but you have to realize that 90% of what they now about animals and nature is seen through a car window or on tv . Not spending countless hours in the woods hunting , scouting , and seeing wildlife up close . So yes , I can completely understand were they are coming from .
