i hate em too

We've now found a use for that UN-lucky bar of soap.

I beg to differ on that one. Try fishing for King Mackeral sometime. I've had Kings swim around with menhaden...or bunker/pogies according to what part of the east coast you're on....in their mouths just like any other feeding fish until the drag hits. Once they get two razor sharp treble hooks poked into the roof of their mouth, they are off to the races. Likewise, I've seen Bluefish bite a live bait in half and release it when they felt the treble in their mouth. Blues will leave you with a tail hanging on one treble and a head on the other. Fish feel pain and are intelligent, just ask any mackeral fisherman who's watched a king or spanish swim around his bait because his leader or hooks are too big.

And yes, I fish and hunt. The fishermen I don't like are those who beat small sharks to kill them or toss rays or skates on the deck to die, rather than throw them back. I don't fish for anything I don't eat and I don't hunt for anything I don't eat. If I don't intend to eat it, I either leave it alone to begin with or put it back with as little stress as possible.

And add those who throw cigarette butts and garbage in the ocean. I don't empty my trash in your refrigerator, please don't toss your trash into mine.

This is true. It's very simple, if you are an animal and your eyes are located on the sides of your head you are "Prey" and if they are in the front of your head you are a "Predator", we are predators so don't fight it.

People are so ill informed about hunting, I consistently talk to non hunters about the application process, and they're like what? they have no clue that you can't just go into the woods anywhere, anytime of year and shoot as many deer as you want etc.... No wonder alot of non-hunters have a problem with it, I think once they come to learn we're actually managing populations of game vs. just killing them into extinction they'd be more apt to come around to the idea of hunting. I would think common sense would be that you can't just shoot any animal anytime anywhere, but then again, I guess common sense isn't common enough?

thats there opinion and you got to respect it as a bowhunter.

im very gald theres people thinking like that becuase thats less morons i have to deal with whilebowhunting in thenational forest.

We should do everything we can to introduce people(urban) to the natural (off the pavement) world. Hopefully, by doing so they too can restore their lost predatory nature and join our ranks of passionate hunters.

DUDE! That's just F&*^in' WRONG!
