I will agree with the ideals of this thread so far for the most part.
What I DISAGREE with is the "slob" hunter. I have nothing in common with him/her.
Folks who regularly break laws, shoot up water tanks and windmills, leave gates open that should be closed, and generally make a nuisance of themselves aren't of my liking, and are generally not tollerated in my camps.
As far as HOW they hunt, and WHAT they hunt, I won't criticize at all as long as it's a legal animal that's in season, and the method of take is within the boundaries of the law. I've hunted most forms of legal wildlife in the areas I hunt, and enjoy each and every type. I'll continue to do so, and will encourage and teach others to do so, but there are some activities taken outside the law that I cannot condone.
I admit to making many mistakes in my life, many of which I'm not proud of. I don't mean to sound self-righteous, but there are times when we need to clean our own ranks.
