tmsander, if you ask a random non-hunting person in Texas if you think a wildlife ranch is a good thing, you'll get yes. They love that people take care of animals, raise a bunch, not in a zoo, they drive by and love it. If you ask a more biased question, is a canned hunt good, you may get a no. That's my point, you're taking the anti-s view. If you ask them if shooting an animal at 300 yards with a high power rifle standing and getting a drink of water, you'll probably get a no. Hell, that could be a B&C shot. These are schitt thoughts, they are way too hypothetical, they don't hold water. I get your point, clean up the image, I disagree with the argument that this kind of thing does that. I guess you do think it is unethical to shoot an animal legally, eh? You're like an anti, that's my point.
Hey, I know, why don't you guys ban those little spots on the rivers where they stock the fish. You know, where family's stop on vacations and fish a bit. The kids get some fish. That's not real fishing right, clean up the image. There's something for your list, ban them, how about it? Those people are exploiting our natural fish, poluting the genes with them raised fish.
You guys are making stupid arguments like that in my view.
The only image to clean up is the illegal stuff, the poaching, that's my view. What do you want to make illegal next, what's next on your anti- list? Do you have something tmsander, what do you want to clean up next? Name something. What's the image problem you see? Anyone of you guys, spill it out. Lets discuss it, lets see the problem.
Greenhorn, you're imagining I killed your pet, the only goat you probably ever knew, dear Wilamea, how about those pet elk, the ones people pet, the ones that pull the wagons, the ones in the zoos, is that the one you shot? You aren't the guy the anti-s imagine killing Bambi are you, or Bambi's dad, are you that guy?
