There's a guy who doesn't get it.
My exact thoughts..... What I got out of this is the fact that this guy is saying that the means at which you achieve your goal is not important and that any form of hunting is fine (if legal) and equally gratifying and respected. His way of thinking says that if the TWRA legalized hunting by spotlighting , baiting and even heat seeking weaponry, then that would be okay too. As long as it's legal, then it's hunting and we as "hunters" should stick together, no matter how we feel about other's technigues. Sorry, you'll never get me to go along with that. And for those that do, I feel sorry for you because like BSK said..."You just don't get it." JMO BH
I must of missed something........ The arcticle seemed to talk about hunters bashing other hunters for having different philosophies. I didn't read where we should hunt in any manner that we please. Example: I would never bash hunters in FL or SC running deer with dogs... I know a lot of guys on here would and I bet over 90% of them have never tried it. Now how can these guys have an opinion on something they have never tried? Thats what I get out of the article. The article is taking about hunters across the country and different philosophies. I don't think he's saying we should make baiting or spotlighting legal in TN.
The point is there are different styles, different tactics, and different weapons for hunting. Be it still hunting and shooting a deer at 650 yards with a rifle or sitting in a tree and arrowing a deer with a cedar shaft arrow from a long bow at 15 yards. We all have our reasons for being out there chasing deer with our chosen style, tactic and weapon. There is nothing wrong with any of them.
P.S. I grew up hunting with dogs and love it but I wouldn't trade my tree stands in for nothing.

BSK what did you not like about the article. I have read it a couple of times and I guess I'm looking at it from the debating angle. I don't totally agree with everything (baiting) in the article but I think it points out hunters that belittle other hunters out there, in their legal pursuit of game because we don’t use the same methods. This is the stuff we see on here all the time when it comes to baiting, buck limits, trophy hunters, meat hunters, and several other topics.
P.S. I love archery season....LOL

gator-n-buck,
As we have been discussing in all the other threads, I don't believe we should be supporting any style of hunting just to show some sort of solidarity. I understand that concept but I disagree with it philisophically.
Some tactics/actions/hunting styles aren't good for the future of hunting, and we need to say so.
Baiting is NOT good for hunting, both in biology and image, and we need to say so.
Extreme measures of trophy hunting are NOT good for hunting and we need to say so.
Slob hunting is NOT good for hunting and we need to say so.
People who hunt because they like "killing stuff" are NOT good for hunting and we need to say so.

Otherwise, we as hunters are viewed much like the public is now viewing congressional democrat politicians.
What the non-hunting public thinks, it does matter, and I don't want anyone to lose their hunting privileges down the road because we were to arrogant (just like those jokers in Washington) to understand the reality.
I don't want my grandson coming to me and saying, "Granddaddy, before they outlawed hunting, why didn't you speak up more against the problems that were the problems? Sure wish we could go hunting."

BSK I agree on all three points that you set out and one of them I mentioned in my above post. I know this guy went to extremes when making his point but I agree with him when it comes to hunters bashing other hunters for their own agenda. Hunting has come a long ways since I was a 12 year old kid making tree stands between pine trees and never heard of a safety belt.. It was also 70 to 80 degrees most of hunting season down south...

Yes it has! Now some decry all the advances in technology, and I freely admit some probably are not helpful. But many of the advances in hunting equipment and technology have made hunting a more enjoyable activity (i.e. better clothing, better/safer stands, better bows and arrows, easier to use muzzleloaders, etc.).
