This is one of the most emotionally charged subjects we have on this board, go to any social media site and it gets worse..... We deer hunters love our sport, to the point of loving it too death.... We see it from a narrow perspective in our own little world of the acreage we hunt.... Whether we hunt public or private lands, lease or travel to out of state locals.... At some point, the culture has to step back and look at our hunting from a broader aspect..... Not just the neighbors around you but the neighbors in the next county, next zone and so forth....
Just because you're not seeing a decline doesn't mean it's not happening elsewhere.... We need to see the bigger picture and that's where we need too grow as hunters.... Some are already there, most aren't as evident just looking at social media.... But Just what has been stated numerous times, educating the masses is what's needed.... Educating them, with out belittling them can be a chore at times especially when you see some of the ignorance that is out there, but it needs to be done and before anything can move forward that has too start.... We'll just be spinning our wheels if we don't....
As evident in some of the posts on here emotions run high, I suggest if you get upset, you take an extra few minutes too reread your posts and maybe hold off and post it later, this thread isn't going away, and posting while riled up will not get you point across I can guarantee that....
