Roger,

I agree with you. I can definitely see the point the good Sir is making, but in every hunter safety course I teach, we point out in the very beginning the 10% of the population that are hunters, 10% that are anti-hunters, and the 80% that will make or break hunting. That 80% needs to know who we are and how we feel because the media will have no trouble lumping up in with the slobs and poachers. We need to get more “good press” out there and advocate what we think is right (and distance ourselves from what we feel is wrong). PA has a “turn in a poacher” hotline. Other states, I’m sure, have something similar. There are many groups out there that advocate ethics in hunting. Simply put, we cannot be silent.

Again, I know nothing about Mr. Barta, so it is not fair for me to single him out. Also, I am on the fence (pun intended) about hunting preserves as I just don’t like saying “no” as a blanket statement about [almost] anything. Again: IMHO!

Be well.

Alex
