Just thought I'd share this with you. Someone sent this Friday responding to my posts about trying to apply more pressure to poachers/snaggers...

His Email:

" Worry about yourself and not others. I would not
advise thoughts of going out and playing game warden.
Obviously you are new to the sport of fishing/hunting.
Get over it, deal with it, because you can't change
the world. My advice; if it bothers you so
much...........quit fishing. My father doesn't fish
because of similar frustrations as yours. Quit
fishing in areas where you are going to experience
meat hunters. Just remember, what's ethical to you
may not be ethical to me or others. Your not a big dog! "

My Reply:

"Actually I've been fishing/hunting my whole life. And I don't frequent such places, but I hear the horror stories and see enough of it to know how pathetic it is. You can bend over and take it or maybe you even participate - that's your call.

I'm not talking about ethics anyway. I'm talking about the law...
Meat hunters/fishers are fine. I eat fish some times - that I catch legally.

Worry about yourself and not others??? What kind of self centered crap is that? Try practicing this yourself - don't worry about what I'm doing - if it bothers you - just ignore it.

Stand up for what you believe in, or follow the 'Hitlers' of the world. For me, the choice will always be the same...

Quitting is not an option."

Am I just smoking something here? Do most of you feel the way he does??
