Now it seems guest rules at clubs are so strict it’s hard to take other folks kids hunting. And folks seem more Sue happy these days as well.

And we had a thread on here the other day about guest rules and most of them boiled down to basically no damn guests. All about “trophy” deer.

Not having to sit still for so long, picnic snacks and the comradery helps too. During the meet up in between hunts they run around with the other kids like wild Indians. Its more like the traditional rite of passage for young braves. You gotta earn it by working for it and towards it.

And dog hunting was just about killed by these “trophy” hunters that always complained about it running off their big bucks.


Dogs crossing property lines is what killed dog hunting.
