Fishing & Hunting - Commentary

I believe a fisherman takes only what is legal or whatever he and his family will eat, whichever is the lesser of the two. I believe this also holds true to hunters., and up to this point, I don't think anyone would disagree with me.

I just watched a program on hunting and became angry, as I do sometimes when I watch deep sea fishing programs. I hate to see hunters use dogs, when the dogs job is to run down the animal. I DON'T have a problem at all with a using a single dog, such as a retriever, to point out, flush and retrieve birds. But I do have a problem when a pack of dogs are used to run down, surround, and trap an animal so that the so called hunter can walk up and shoot it. Then listen to the guy tell me what a great hunt it was, when their dogs did all the hunting. They are no more a hunter than a guy who uses dynamite, to catch fish, is a fisherman.

If this individual was using one of these methods as the sole means to feed his family, I wouldn't have a problem it. That includes using dynamite to catch fish. A man must do whatever is necessary to feed, cloth, shelter, and protect their family. But to call it fishing or hunting is a joke. With all our modern camo, scents, callers, gps, etc., do we really need to use dog packs to run down our prey.

Yeah, I'm a moderate democrat - so I also believe a man only needs a shotgun, a long rifle, a bow, a good knife, and maybe a semi-auto handgun to hunt with and for protection. The weapons I have are for hunting, not for taking on an invading army. We have the police and military for that. But, hey, I think it would be cool to use tranquilizer tarts to hunt with so that you could shoot that big deer, get your photo taken with it and then let it go. Catch & release hunting, because for me, it is the hunt that is the fun.

You should be out dynamiting bass anyway...

So high powered bass boats kill many more people than machine guns, yet there are more machine guns owned, than high powered bass boats

Of course the left wing media, and the left wingers want no one to know that, they "Believe" that people could not be trusted with that kind of weapons

You see Warren, I deal in facts,, not beliefs, or feelings

So your fears are totally unfounded, you listen and believe people who don't have a clue about the facts, or the don't care about them, or they just twist them to fit their beliefs

I'm gonna post your top-10 quotes at Christmas time, just to spread some holiday cheer...

I don't need some paranoid paramilitary idiot telling me what I should have in mine.

Warren

I don't own any assault weapons, I'm not into paramilitary crap, I don't even personally know anyone who is, I'm not paranoid, I don't even carry a knife, and I have an IQ of 186.

Statements were made that were not based on facts, I give the facts

WHo's the idiot ?

If I may interrupt here...

First of all, I believe guns in the hand of citizens is no more dangerous than cell phones in the hands of people. Personally, I think that people have no need for fully automatic weapons but it's not my place to tell them not to..

But let's get to my real point..

"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

That is the exact quote of the 2nd amendment of the constituion. It's purpose was very simple - to allow people the access to weapons in the defense of the state. Let's think back to the minute men. That's where this came from. People have often mistaken it's meaning and even misquoted it for there needs..

Christopher

I don't want anyone who does think he could be trusted with such a firearm, to have one

The reason for the left out word is due to

I'm high as a kite, I've been on drugs since the middle of the week, I'm trying to pass a 5 mm kidney stone, it's a wonder I'm even able to think with the pain and the drugs,, but everything else in the post was correct

then you say "> I don't own any assault weapons, I'm not into paramilitary crap".

By your own logic you're either an idiot or an incapable dishonest citizen.

186, lol.

Warren

....but I'm not high either lol.

Many of us reloads used them, it allowed us to shoot lead bullets at jacked bullet velocities, reducing our cost to practice

The Anti gun nuts wanted everyone to think it was just to penetrate police vest,, just so they could chip away at the guns and ammo.

Of course even if this was true, it would be another case of getting it into the public eyes that guns are only for hunting, then like in England, when they ban hunting, they can then ban guns

One day the peta people will get a law pasted where you can only catch and release fish,, of course this would not upset you personally, but this step would be another step to their final goal of stopping fishing completly

One step at a time is the game plan of gun grabbers ,and animal rights people

WE must unite to defend all our rights, we can't keep giving up a little each year, at one point we will have none left,, Use your brains people.

If they outlaw personal water craft, this would make many here happy, but that would be one step to outlawing high performance bass boats, which would be a step to outlawing gas powered boats, you must look at the final goals of these people, as they one step at a time you >
