then you finally admitted that you had run out of private land to hunt on.
Strange recollection there.......
Because I am certain that I have never said that!
I have a LOT of land to hunt. I pay a lot to hunt it, though. That is the point that I make. The State, and everyone knows your angle now , is constantly whining about the hog 'Problem' and how hard detrimental they are to the Wildlife and Environment. Then, in a direct contradiction, they either do NOT allow ANY hunting for them, or very short controlled hunts on our PUBLIC land.
But, you already know that. You just have an agenda......
You are in luck! Due to my lack of computer skills and this sites limited amount of archived posts I am not able to resurrect the discussion. However, if you can locate it and resurrect it or the others along the same line where you dislike the DCNR and restrictions on the hog-dogging on public land I will gladly identify your statements.
What pray tell is "my agenda"? Please expose me for what I am!
In case you have not quite gotten it figured out my screen name should give you a clue.
Also, equal opportunity (not the governments version of equal opportunity that is anything but) means the same as, or as close to it that is reasonable (understanding that there are specific differences between private and public land), what a person does with that opportunity is left up to that individual. Some loose, some win. Some are better hunters, some are poor hunters. Some kill monster deer, some kill no deer. All have the same opportunity, which is about as far as a person can get from being socialist, for which I have apparently been accused.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal", straight from?? The Declaration of Independence, which the last time I checked was not a socialist writing. I don't believe I have stated anywhere that everyone should hunt the same way, prepare their property the same way, or do anything else the same way to achieve what an INDIVIDUAL wants to achieve on their land or in their hunting endeavors. I have said that the government should only work and endeavor to allow equal opportunities (maybe you should read that as having the same baseline to start from) and not work toward guarantying a successful outcome for private or public hunter.
I believe I have clearly stated my position on baiting. However, I have stated that if "baiting" is going to be allowed on private property then it should be allowed on public property. Other States allow baiting on public land why shouldn't Alabama? If you don't hunt on public land then why do you care??
Hogwild, don't take all of these comments as directed at you, they are meant for general consumption and contemplation by anyone that reads this post.
