  1. I was very much for cameras for a long time but it seems it has gotten out of hand. Its only going to get worse. More and more fights / arguments are going to happen at waterholes over guys that feel "entitled" to the animal they have several pics of. Allow cameras from March 1st until August 1st or 31st. Make people scout for animals like our grandparents did or take the first legal animal they see for the purpose of meat.

  2. No need for insulting one another here. We're all on the same team after all.

     

    But I would argue there's a difference between trapping within a quarter mile knowing there's potential to trap someone's dog, and hunting. It's not like anyone here's gonna shoot someone's dog. Even though it was probably supposed to be on a leash or whatever.

     

    I guess at least as long as your on your own property you should be able to do as you wish?

  3. It would seem the sportsman are in fact divided.

     

    The biggest issue I have with it is the minority who doesn't even hunt whines and moans a bit and then laws are changed to control the majority. It's also a little aggravating when national forest areas are peppered with private homes. Case in point the East side of the huachucas. No it's not difficult to get past a quarter mile from a building but it's still annoying when people want nature in there back yard but don't want hunters.

  4. Maybe they are trying to turn things around? Seems the owner should have these two threads pointed out to him and if he gives a hoot about his company he will clean house and try to right the wrongs of the past.

     

    I will say this.. Owning a company sucks these days when you have to count on employees. It's really not worth the hassle, that's why I closed mine and will go solo if I ever start one up again.

  5. Agreed, I did say I can sympathize. But there are many reasons one might hunt within a quarter mile of their or another's home other than not being good at hunting. Nuisance animals, time, physical ability etc. I think what GnF gives the champ hunters is a freakin joke. Also most people that have a problem with animals being killed are still meat eaters that go to Safeway to get their protein in nice clean packages. I'm perfectly willing to hear a vegan or vegetarians opinion on my hunting, but a meat eater that's anti hunting just irritates the crap out of me.

     

    In my humble opinion it would be nice to see GnF take the side of sportsman on this one.

  6. The problem is the homeowner start to feed the animals and they consider than pets and then you put an arrow in one of their pets and now you have a problem.

    Except for its not their pet. It's a wild animal that they're probably not supposed to be feeding to begin with. While I can sympathize with a non hunter growing an appreciation for an animal they see every day and grow a bond with they should realize its a game animal and have realistic expectations of what could potentially happen to that animal.

  7. At that age I'd be inclined to try some of those cheap chinese ones they sell up your way. Their all over craigslist. I hear they're decent if you go over all the nuts and bolts with lock tite. I was even thinking about trying the 250 for myself strictly for hunting.


  8. At least you had some entertainment!

     

    Best non hunt entertainment I had while hunting was a mountain biker getting all crazy and biffing it so hard I felt it from 1000 yards away. I actually went to dial 911 while I was up on hill but shortly his moaning and wind sucking stopped and he started cussing so I knew he was gonna survive.

     

    LOL, nothing makes you feel more alive than almost dying and cussing and yelling in severe pain!
