The selling of canned hunts, awards for killing the most and the biggest, and all aspects of an industry which commercializes the death of wild animals, etc., etc., there is no way we as hunters can rationalize what we do to those who read this book who are not hunters.

There are far more of them (antis) than us that in the long run we can't win. There are not enough of us for politicians to rally for our cause. The descriptions of pay to kill far out weighed father and son on a deer hunt in the woods.

I don't know how long it will take or what order will be taken. If the Democrats pass a bill that makes airports gun free zones--there goes traveling with our rifles and shotguns. More and more airlines won't carry hunting trophies. People lose their jobs if they publicly state they hunt or publish photos. A principal told me years ago I was too dangerous to be a public school teacher becasue I was a member of the NRA. Some states have out-lawed imporation of certain trophies.

I'm 65 this August and believe I will see the end of international hunting, most if not all, within my lifetime. The biggest organization that is for hunters gathers the most attacks for the awards and shifty officers at the top.

I'm glad I participated while I could and will continue to do so. But the game is about over.

He is anti hunting.

Period.

If we are going to examine every aspect of what we do, and try our best to stop those who do things we do not like, no one will be able to do anything anymore.

LIFE follows death.

You cannot have one without the other.

Every living creature that is not vegetarian kills to survive.

Humans have tamed endless species to benefit from.

From horses to camels to cows to pigs to chickens.

Those of us who object to so called "canned" hunts are only supporting the antis.

I would not shoot a lion bred on a farm, nor would I shoot a buffalo bred on a farm.

I have no objection to shooting all sorts of plains game bred on a farm.

Cal, when I was a young lad and listening to the older generation of African hunters, they were saying the same thing when Kenya went tits up. It's over, we'll never see hunting in Africa again, etc, etc, etc.

From where I sit, hunting in Africa will continue long after all of us are gone. It may look different than it has, but it will continue. The insanity currently going on in regards to trophy bans will run its course and will eventually be lifted. I see it as nothing more than the "Me Too" trend currently sweeping the globe. It's in fashion today, but will eventually go out of fashion in the future.

Eventually the masses will grow tired of the fractional few who are offended by everything and will stop listening to them and will stop being controlled and manipulated by them.
