responsible hunter

Respect is key in the hunting world and to help keep hunting good. Ive been taught respect since i was first taken into the woods when i was an infant. Ive always learned to never give up when tracking and ive been taught to read sign the best i can in order to make sure the game is not lost and to push yourself(not the game) to track an animal. Right on to everyone on here who knows deep respect for animals and the wild world.

Pappy, I have no problem with the signs you have. But the ones here just say "Welcome Hunters!" with two big beer logos on either side and they hang in front of every lquor store and quick-beer stop in town. I used to work at a place with a sizeable number of anti-hunter co-workers. Those signs were always brought up in conversations with them. I never defended those signs. I said those signs are embarrassing. The point is, we have to remember what the non-hunting public sees. They outnumber us and can write letters and vote.
On trophy hunting, that's just my opinion. I'm not saying others should live by it, but I won't defend trophy hunting publicly or privately. My only caveat is, as I said, we have to remember what the non-hunting public sees and perceives. In my conversations with anti-hunters---and I worked alongside these people for ten years---about 60% of them could understand the concept of hunting for meat. Some might be vegetarians, but some of them actually respected the fact I took personal responsibility for killing my own meat. Because many of them used the argument regarding eating meat that, "Well, you wouldn't eat meat if you had to kill it yourself!" Ummmm....I do. And...your next point? But the idea all of them opposed, was the idea of some guy killing an animal just to hang it's head up on his wall. That garners the most vehement arguments against hunting out of them all. Hunters can say, "Well, to heck with them!" But again, the non-hunting public outnumber us. Personally, I don't want to lose my ability to go out and make some rabbit meat just because some guy wants to bring home a bunch of heads to put on his wall. Again, just my opinions.
