A lot of the problems arise from hunters being brought up hunting with different legal methods of hunting. You have die-hard bowhunters (both long bow and compound), rifle, shotgun, and muzzle loaders. From that you have dog hunters, man drive hunting, legal baiting (including corn, sex lures, food plots, etc), legal enclosures, stands in the woods or food ploters. Some people just can't accept hunting unless it is the way they hunt.

I think alot of this is true.

Regionalhunting techniques and local game laws often shape a guys attitude towards hunting and ethics.

I believe this hits the nail on the head as well! I think we all get on here and forget that all of us live in such different environments. I sit back and see how some of you get to shoot a pile of deer in a season and here just one! regardless of the season it is just one deer a year. Over the past years I have shot from fawns to big heavey dressed out bucks. I just like the idea of getting out and away from all the rat-race. If I get something I concider that as a bonus because the best part to me is getting out and enjoying what the great out doors has to offer. Up here you can go a hole season and be lucky to even see a deer. The woods are big and all the cuttings going on up here changes everything when it comes to hunting. Some folks up here will say you are lucky but, in reality there may be some luck to it. However you have to know what you are doing to bring the luck your way.

I also believe that some just like to stir things up a little from time to time just to keep things interesting to them. But, as others stated we are all hunters and should enjoy what others have to offer. I am sure there is some things that come from here that we all learn something from. Even some of the well seasoned hunters.
