I completely understand that the unknown is not an understood concept. What I mean by this is when you do not personally know about a subject, hobby, etc. you tend to assume how it should be. BUT, unless you are the hunter in this situation, you don't understand. I have encountered many dog owners in many different places. Some have complied with the rules and some have not. I pick my child up from a daycare in the city limits and I have been chased by a dog, I have stepped in dog poop, I have had cats on my car. I believe that all of which is against the laws of owning a pet. However, I know that some people do not follow the law and you cannot control cats jumping on my car. I am not standing in the yard flipping people off or going to the city council to complain that ALL pet owners are violators or we need to do away with owning pets. Now lets get to the part about people on "your" land. What happened to this country????? Everything is all about "my". What about helping people and understanding people. These hunts are usually known as benefit hunts. Oh, but that part wasn't mentioned to the city council. These men take their time and money to raise money for sick human beings and special events. Think about if everyone would help each other, we could make these hunts even more beneficial and prosperous. You will always have a few people to mess up and not follow the law, but stop stereotyping and help the bigger group who is doing this for a good cause. I am 100% sure the cause was not to upset anyone but to raise money for a needy cause. We as a society need to stop trying to go against one another and try to ask questions to understand each other and help! We let emotions run high and when that happens we don't think clearly. I would much rather that law enforcement spend their time on catching the people who are killing people and who are selling drugs to our kids. Have you ever stopped to think this hobby may keep our young boys off the streets and off of the computers and video games. I am proud to say I come from generations of hunters. I have 2 boys that I will fully support them hunting with their father! When this country was founded, hunting was how people had food to eat. Now we want to take this tradition away because people who don't believe in it are inconvenienced because someone was on their land. I teach school and I see how many young minds are hurt because all imagination is taken away with tv, video games, and computers. Not to mention there few who actually have family time. So many have the above mentioned items as their babysitter so mom and dad can do as they please. Stop and think about the whole picture. I will leave you with this, I saw a quote one day and it made me think. I hope everyone reads this and thinks about what it really means.
