my biggest gripe I have , is the reputation and perception we have received from the public due to the [ few ] unethical and rouge element in this sport . you know the ones that drive the roads and dump dogs on anybody's property at night where they see a pig cross and the ones running the deer leases at night when they know they aren't allowed in there .
yes indeed...
all the hunters and fishermen need to be united to fight the anti's...but when dogs run hogs all night in a deer lease and the deer hunters are listening to dogs baying hogs or a hog dog walks up to the deer camp...then we have deer hunters demanding tougher dog laws...
and all the trespassers that cut fences and bust locks and cut gates and leave trash and ruts...and the land owners will demand tougher trespassing laws...
I made a smartass comment earlier in this thread just messing around BUT if I had one honest gripe about other hunters and fishermen for that matter it would be about leaving trash and tearing up things that are not theirs to tear up.......I can't stand driving down a lease road and seeing trash up and down both sides of it........not much different than when my other 1/2 and myself go to some of our favorite crabbing and fishing spots just to find them now off limits due to inconsiderate jerkoffs leaving trash all over the place and tearing up roads.....this truely burns me up, we have lost some GREAT crabbing spots due to idiots leaving empty chicken packages, cans and bottles and twine all over the dang place........really sucks for the people who take the time to pick up after themselves and take care of the land that they are fortunate enough to have access to......
