Rockhard,
I am sorry that you feel the need to ask me to leave this forum based on my post on this subject. Best I can tell, I made NO "bashing" remarks to or about anyone. I respect all the posters on this board and would never dream of "whinning" about so and so who killed an animal, but I can post my opinions just like every one else (it is a public forum on the INTERNET). Just for the record, I have done some hunting, but I don't find it particularly enjoyable anymore.
I field trial my dogs and I have a very good friend that hunts them. I am NOT anti-hunting because I understand the importance of "checks and balances" as I stated before. I don't have to defend my position on wildlife to any one, but just so you know, I do enjoy seeing animals in the wild because that is where they belong. I do feel that HUMANS have created a bigger problem trying to "manage" populations and due to encroachment into wild areas. Thus the need for hunting for territorial control. Just as another poster said, the building has "squeezed" wildlife into smaller and smaller areas which then makes them a nuisence to people.
What point were you trying to make by quoting "I am a woman" and the same with MSU Dawg? Then you go on to try to justify how much you like women who hunt???? Seems like to me you could have just stated your comments with out the QUOTES. Are you a "woman-hater" or just like to "rag" on women? I bet you probably brag to your "buddies" how tough you are on your wife/girlfriend (put her in her place). I am sure that you are probably the type to also say something like "you know how women are..." I almost got the feeling from this comment "If you feel that you need to voice your opinion about it, start your own thread, instead of ruining a fellow hunter's post.", that I am not welcome here BECAUSE I am a dumb, whiney, emotional, woman!!
Excuse me for "venting" as it is not my usual manner, BUT, you know how women are....
