I've learned a long time ago fabsroman that you don't blame hunters for anything. It NEVER pays off. You I'm sure haven't been involved in dealing directly with the environmental community and more particularly the radical environmental community.
First off, HUNTERS don't leave gutpiles, don't shoot at road signs, don't drive around town with deer on their hoods, and hunters sure as hell don't bring attention to their activities especially in an unethical manner.
Vandals, felons (shooting roadsigns), and other who inconsiderately tresspass or damage need to be isolated as who they are immeidately and to use the words "hunter" in these cases is damaging to the proper image of hunters and should not be assigned to this kind of behavior.
That being said, if you don't think that a lot of this is being promoted by the animal rights activist, you obviously are still young and can't be blamed for naivety. Greenpeace, as far back as 1999 has been caught on film STAGING these kinds of activities.
No my friend, hunters should immediately come forth and criticize this activity and lay the blame right where it belongs... at the idiot and or the animal rights activist and I'd lump them together in my condemnation.
