You are one to talk about someone belittling or degrading others. You stalk my every move with your laughing emoticons, "Hank Hill" and "Elmer Fudd" comments, discussing non-existent "connections", dissing my hunting experience when you know zero about it, and on and on and on..... ad infinitum. You act like every bully in Jr. High. It doesn't mean squat to me because it speaks for itself. But you are the last person on this forum with any right to get up on your high horse about someone "belittling and degrading" others. It's your life's work.

You couldn't be more wrong about an individual. One of the kindest most respectful members I've ever had the pleasure of meeting in person. One of the few members who reached out to me with a friendly pm welcoming me to this forum.

And I promise you if he met you in person he would shake your hand and give you the utmost respect. It just has got to the point that you need to be called out for your behavior. You constantly belittle others about how they chose to hunt in the form of expressing your "opinion". You describe with your ridiculous lack of facts opinions on how they hunted when you've never met them or shared or observed their hunting experience.

And then when members call you out to present the facts to support your opinion you cop out with: go read them for yourself.
Your opinions have lost credibility because of these facts. Then you resort to being attacked personally for expressing your opinions on a public forum.

Define powerful folks?

Then tell us what is being actually argued...

I have no doubt of that. But you couldn't prove it by me. I take folks as I find them and respond with to them as their approach warrants. No more, no less. I do not get personal or hateful as a rule. I do slip on occasion. But I'll put my behavior up with anyone else's on the forum. And way above many. Do you actually read these things? And you say MY behavior needs "calling out"? Give me a break.

The "not supporting my opinion" rap is pure . No one on this forum has discussed, explained, and supported their position on these issues more than me. No one. My posts explaining my position on these threads could fill a dang encyclopedia.

Like I said, people see what they want to see.

Still waiting.......

The article in the paper took what seemed to be a much harder view on breeding deer than the video. The paper indicates many wealthy ranch owners and others feel Mother Nature should take care of deer breeding. In 1996 there were approximately 275 with deer breeder permits. Today the number is 1,326.
Interesting reading.

There are a number of specific things mentioned in this article, such as:
Landowners who want pharmaceutical free deer
Some wealthy owners also breed deer
Out of control deer breeding practice and canned hunting which threatens the publics perception of hunting.
Breeders release deer pumped full of antibiotics and other drugs which may be a health threat.
Some have racks so heavy they can barely lift their head.
Breeders can offer a hunt near a city for $3,000.
Big ranches like the King Ranch many miles from a city sometimes charge around $20,000.for a trophy buck.
TWA wants a rule to make sure a bred deer is released into the wild in the spring, leaving plenty of time for antibiotics and other drugs to was out of their systems before the fall hunting season.

And there is a bit more.......

This is not my thread. I don't particularly care what's being argued. My only point in this thread is that they are arguing. I said in the very first post I made this is the first I had heard of it.

But, if you want a list, the OP just posted one. It's the same issues that are always discussed when HF/breeding is the subject.

I wasn't being flippant. If you want to know what's being argued in the article and who is arguing, then read it.

I have not read the article nor have any interest in doing so. I think when they started the captive breeding of WT it did more to downgrade hunting than anything else in the last 50 years.

wish I hadn't started to read this

You know it is a shame three or four guys on here could not get together and have a beer. Chances are that if you actually met face to face you would discover the other is not as bad as you imagine. In my experience, preconceived perceptions usually turn out to be totally out of line once I actually meet and talk to someone. Certainly a level of common respect with words comes to the forefront when folks are face to face.

Forums and keyboards sure create an environment for misunderstandings - just sayin'

No misunderstanding a man that admitted he was on the thread just to troll....5 hours after his first post he was still posting with out actually knowing what the thread was about.

After a while it becomes more about personalities than about the subject. Who is posting rather than what is said. Mr. Don posted the most direct statement made on the subject on this thread.

No dustups. No problems. No argument. No discussion.

You're right. It's just the nature of the internet.

You never read the article nor did you even know the context after 6 hours of running your mouth on here.

Yet still point fingers?

I did not think it was possible to be that dense. My mistake
