I did not degrade any fellow hunter or fisherman, that was you. Now if you want to watch and support Old Jimmy, feel free. I never said not to. However you might ask him if he thought what he did was right. It was hunters who fought this activity in this state, not PETA. I was at the meetings, just a bunch of us HUNTERS and the high fence operators. No PETA to be seen. You quite obviously are very new to fighting PETA if you think this gives them any fuel. Again, watch the video then ask yourself "Who is really giving PETA amunition".
JH posted this buck on his web page entitled "Elusive Indiana buck", you will notice it is not there anymore. How about looking at it a little different. Suppose someone raises a 25 pound bass in a pond and offers it to the high bidder. Then moneybags (Who happens to make his money on outdoor shows) shows up and the owner nets the bass and puts it in a barrel where Mr moneybags can snag it. He then puts it on his website telling how he caught the elusive record bass. Of course you cannot complain about it because it might give PETA another reason to hate us.

Don't get me wrong, I understand your points, and most people probably do. I haven't watched the video, and probably don't want to see it. The bottom line is your statement in general to high fence, low fence, and enclosed. I don't agree with feeding, salt blocks, doe piss, etc. , but I don't slam it, because it may affect the sport somehow. I don't agree with trapping with bait or not having a trap signed or flagged. In fact, my brothers lab almost got her foot trapped when we were duck hunting. I'm not going to bash trapping because of my views.

In fact I didn't even care for decoys while duck hunting, but I now use them because it wouldn't be duck hunting if I didn't. I didn't slam it at first because I didn't understand that some people need these decoys. Now I use them and I am glad that I do. At first, I just didn't understand it and felt it was not a fair hunt. I felt it "cheapend" the sport. Now I realize that you need decoys to get birds.

Lures for catching fish? I guess if you wanted everything to be harder you could catch them by hand? Some people catch them by hand. Have you ever seen the guys who catch catfish while 'noodling' with their bare hands? Pretty cool stuff. I wonder if they bash the fishermen that use bait? I could ramble on to save my opinion, but I think you get my point. If you don't agree with it that's fine, but in my opinion...keep it to yourself (respectfully speaking).
