Yeah, some pretty angry fellas there. I think they just didn't bother to read what the question was about, saw the word spotlight, and went into attack mode. I put them in the same class as the city guys who read a magazine or two and like to go to the local tavern to tell everyone about their vast outdoor experience. Always good for a laugh.

Striper Phil you were the one i was talking to in the first place[8D] I see your other post on poaching, and that too came with the response that it pretty much was okay. You sound just like the type of person to do that would spotlight and poach. And for your information it is hunting rules and regs that don't let you poach and spotlight so yes, it is my way or the highway.

tomshateme, just a topic of conversation, huh? Right, you wouldn't be asking it if you saw something wrong with doing it.

Although I usually don't feel the need to explain myself to an angry little man who likes to spout off, I will since this is a public forum. Go back and sound the words out until you understand them. I do not condone poaching. However, I do like to hear other people's thoughts and opinions on sensitive subjects. Again, this is supposed to be a discussion on the hunting methods we use and how they came about. Why some things are taboo and others accepted, etc. I concede that I used an inflamatory example to get people's attention, but never once have I written anything even remotely approving of poaching. If you're still having trouble understanding then please refrain from replying to my posts. If you need help understanding some of the bigger words or sentence structure, just ask. Someone will be glad to help you along.

Why don't you practice what you preach? Look over the remark I made about poaching that was not intended to you. Im just glad your no where near me on opening day. And I was keeping my responses with what was going on in the posts. Didn't mean to get your tears flowing little guy, turn that frown upside down

Man, as I read these posts I hear the theme of "Rocky" in my head. Makes for very interesting reading. Thanks guys.

when we coon hunt, my group likes to shine feilds to see if there are any deer in there. we dont shoot coons that we spot either, not any sport there either. its just we like to see deer. what do u guys think? do u think that what my friends and i are doing is wrong? just wondering. Pistol Pete

better ask woody. He's the foremost leading expert in the field of hunting ethics.

Finally your talking some sense tomshateme[8D]
Someone has to have ethics in the field, you obviously don't[:-]
