Oh boy, here we go again...
Jives, could you please expand on the term "bloodthirsty"?
I am a hunter. I have been around it and done it my whole life. Mostly bow hunting, but occassionally rifle. There are misconceptions and stereotypes about hunters just like any other group. All the hunters I have known are conservationists. We truly care about preserving wildlife and the wilderness. The arguments for and against hunting can be repeated here yet again, and the anti-hunters will still think they are right, and the hunters will think
they're the ones who are right. I am not bloodthirsty, I don't poach, I eat everything I kill, and I follow the laws governing hunting. I respect the wilderness, and the wildlife. Anyone who comes along spouting off about cruel treatment of deer and how hunters are a bunch of red-neck drunk gun-toting maniacs knows nothing of the sport. And yes, it IS a sport.
