Hey now, hey now, slow down, now we're starting to agree!If every hunter positively influences one non-hunter, it really matters.
(Kidding, I think we agree on more than we dont, I just can't help myself trying to being dumb for laughs)

Well I guess all I can say is I have set my sights on positively influencing @Nutterbuster. Wish me luck.Hey now, hey now, slow down, now we're starting to agree!

Dont I know it but he seems like a worthy cause. I am mostly either committed or need committed. You know how these younglings can be.Good luck. He was exposed to his old spotted fawn killing self for so long your going to have an uphill battle.
Only slightly related:
I've never met an "anti". I've met people who don't hunt. I've met vegetarians and vegans. I've met people who eat meat and have no clue how it ends up on their plate out of ignorance(intended or accidental) or stupidity. But I've never met a person who's identity is wrapped up enough in their views on "hunting" or "animal cruelty", that they take significant action in their personal or professional lives to the point that they cross my radar as an "anti".
Where do you guys encounter people like this? They have to exist, right?
Cabelas sells them over the counter. I think I just paid $32 for a wolf tag with a $1000 pay back if I had seen or got one, which I didn’t. I was in the Frank for eight days straight and didn’t see or hear an elk. Saw some mule deer and some sheep, which I did not have tags for.They issue wolf tags in Idaho. Apparently quite a few now, thanks to some vocal folks.
New Law Expands Idaho Wolf Take to 90 Percent of Population, Loosens Regs
Despite opposition from the Idaho Fish and Game Commission, the governor of Idaho signed a new bill into law that would expand wolf hunting.www.google.com
And i dont know that a quick look at numbers backs the claim that they're decimating any ungulates.
Idaho hunters record a good year for elk, deer harvest
Idaho elk and deer hunters had a good season in 2020, according to recently released Idaho Department of Fish and Game information.www.spokesman.com
The Bob Marshall is just as bad or worse from what I understand. I have a buddy that has hunted the Frank a couple of times recently and he said the same.Cabelas sells them over the counter.

The wolf issue there is 100 percent real sadly. I just experienced it.
I have a cousin thats HSUS. I met a bunch of antis when Ohio proposed a bobcat season. Was at the open house at our district DNR HQ. Some of them fit the caricature perfectly, especially the females.For most of the 8 billion and counting homos running around the place, the most meaningful and impactful thing you can do with your life is consider your eating habits. Peter Singer's Animal Liberation and Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma are two books that really positively changed how I thought about my daily bread.
I'm also in the "never met a real anti" camp. I've met a fairly large number of people who, if pressed, acknowledged that they didn't want to know how the sausage was made. I've met a subset of that group who took it upon themselves to think through that sentiment a little or a lot and make some changes. I've met a few who did manage to incorporate their diet into their identity, but I've never met the caricature others have described. I'm sure they exist, I just haven't met one.
I HAVE met their opposite though. Middle-aged men who borderline fetishize excess alcohol, meat, and caffeine.
Yes this is also true.The Bob Marshall is just as bad or worse from what I understand. I have a buddy that has hunted the Frank a couple of times recently and he said the same.
I had to google this due to my mind not wanting to accept your statement. It is a hundred percent accurate.Speaking of AR nuts, a ranch mink farm in NW Ohio was hit today. 10k mink still unaccounted for.
Dont forget to pack a shovel.I"m heading North in two days for Wisconsin's gun season. I hunt several areas, but my main spot (where I ALWAYS hunt opening day) has seen 3 bear-hounds killed by wolves this fall. How do you think I'm feeling about my success this season?
For two years now I’ve tried hard to be a vegetarian, with the exception of what I kill. I say “tried” because I simply can’t pull it off at 100%… I’m not going to visit family and ask what’s the vegetarian dinner option… and I’m still trying to work out recipes that I can make on a consistent basis, lotta habit changes. I’d been leaning this way gradually for awhile, but the Dominion documentary on factory farming was my tipping point. On the hunting side I focus on proficiency and shot selection - I friggin love bowhunting but consider it fairly cruel en masse.
Of all the ways deer can die, and just like us they are all going to die, a broadhead through the lungs seems to be about the least cruel.For two years now I’ve tried hard to be a vegetarian, with the exception of what I kill.

Agreed, that’s not the outcome that bothers me, that’s probably one of the best ways for an animal to perish…. it’s the 37 yard shot that ends up high and back, etc. I bet we’re lucky to have a 50% recovery rate if we’re honest.Of all the ways deer can die, and just like us they are all going to die, a broadhead through the lungs seems to be about the least cruel.
