[QUOTE="mdk777, post: 1773261, member: 96764"] Yeah, missed the rule on avoiding religion I take it. I know I have overlooked or pushed the boundary myself. To all I offended I do apologize. I grew up hunting in PA in the late 60's. There was a strong ethos that hunters were environmentalists and true conservators long before it became hip. Hunters didn't ask the ethereal "other" to pay and work, they did it themselves. So, yeah it gets into politics....but doesn't everything. On a previous duck hunt we had a member of the state conversation board as guest. Of course the discussion of opening days, and if a late or early season favored the local camps....was it better to wait for Arkansas to open their season first and push the ducks down...or to be early and start before the ducks were so weary. So, I was reminded that the fat Mallard I was taking in the Marsh of LA might well have born in Northern marsh fields of IN, and traveled along the Mississippi flyway, feeding in the rice fields of Arkansas....all before I had a chance to hunt it. I certainly don't have any problem with individuals owning and controlling their own property. The duck camp I was hunting at happens to be owned by the single individual largest land owner in the entire state. My point was and is, that game is owned and controlled by the collective US, and not an individual right. Hence, breaking game laws is an offense against us all, not an individual land owner. Most here seem to think this is an unimportant distinction, a semantic and contentious trolling. I did not intend it that way. Best regards all and happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
