It don't matter if it is one person,or could be every person on here. In my view(my view)someone that hunts a extremely low IQ animal which it is known when the hunter is elevated high up in a tree a deer has very limited smell of that person and normally don't gaze into the tree tops like monkeys.
It can only rely on it's instinct and senses it's limited to---doing the tree/bait thing "in my book-----is cheating" Maybe other people think it's not (fine and dandy for them)I just won't hunt with them,that's all.
Using the a whole class of people thing(makes no sense and is low class) 1 or 50 it is no difference.
Now, if in fact (in my mind) I feel someone is cheating(for that certain thing)sure I think it's low moral character(for that thing)why because "in my book" its cheating
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
I said--------maybe
But the number of people it don't make a hoot. If 50 Levergun members were hunting on MY place (cause they would know the rules or wouldn't hunt on it)were found hiding up in the trees saying"it's legal"(after I kicked everybody out I would on the way walking everyone to the road probably be using the word cheat)
Frankly, the deal with the (not having what someone else has----poor me thing, Man, that just don't cut it with me)
You make for yourself what you make.(those that do it on their own sweat,absolutely its a character builder and is respected as such) however if someone steps into it and is good people and has integrity that's cool too)
Maybe it's the way I was brought up,maybe it's what I did for a living for 31 years?
Still Hunting is cool-------and hunting being still--------is cool, if on the ground/no bait/not covered in some full concealment new product that probably is scent proof and now maybe even be infused with doe or buck pee.
Ya want to sit against a big oak or hemlock and place 2 or 3 nice sized dead limbs around the sides and front maybe coming up to your belly button while sitting on a soft little fold up seat-------Fine! I am cool with it.
Why, because to be successful chances are you are going to have to be dead still/pick the correct windage coming along the ground/not make a peep and do it a long time usually and when mr. deer shows up do all that while raising/aiming without being busted. (That's only FAIR) so, Suck it up/pay the price/give the animal a Fair Chance.
If not(my opinion)your cheating the animal/your cheating yourself
Some law maker sure they can say it's all right to do all those things-----fine------It's not what I feel is fair for the animal.
That's why I bust my butt to have what I have----no free rides crying-----poor me-----
I call it the way I see it and those that truly know me respect that and I hope honor me as a friend.
Those that don't==========screw em!
Oh,buy the way pard, having been assigned/worked/and retired on project " Marine One" helicopter you call it the way you see it.(no bulls###)and what do you do?
Enough on this topic-----------------I am done/wasting my time! If someone can't understand that------------Tough!
