First of all, there is no "race" card being played in my statement!
Secondly, I am a land owner, and I hunt on MY land!
If a person is coming from another area or is going to hunt in an area, don't most people go out and look for a hunting spot before they just go wandering into the woods? I have not always been a land owner and have hunted on public and on other peoples private land. I went before hand and spoke to the landowner, to see if they had an area that I could hunt. I was told "no" many many times, and I said "thank you, have a nice day". I then found a public spot that I was not putting myself in danger and not putting others in danger, and I got deer some years and not other years. I have not been shot, or shot anyone! I haven't made anyone mad that I know of, and I have felt dissapointed by many less caring hunters, but not mad, since they have the same right to hunt there as I do!
As a land owner, every **** year, we have people that walk all over us and taunt us with their bullish behavior and total lack of respect for landowners, like it is our fault that they have not found a way to secure hunting areas by purchasing land or aquiring permission to hunt on other peoples land! It is pathetic!
Anyone that uses the statement, "He has 6 kids to feed and he needs the meat", needs to stop and think first, since there are stores that sell it and there are safe ways to hunt it and if you can't afford to feed your family, then MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK OF HAVING SMALLER FAMILIES AND QUIT POLLUTING THE WORLD WITH KIDS THAT THE REST OF US ARE IN SOMEWAY SUPPORTING THROUGH TAX MONEY THAT CAN BE BETTER SPENT SUPPORTING ELDERLY THAT HAVE WORKED THERE ENTIRE LIFES TO TRY AND LIVE THEIRS OUT PEACEFULLY!
I strongly support the right to keep and bear arms, if you don't think so try to take mine or my neighbors! I also believe that not everyone should own a gun, because they don't understand or respect them!
Sorry so long winded!
