Re: Is this really hunting?
We just went through this discussion about the same show last week in here and it got a bit nasty.
I didn't see the show, but I understand that this type of hunting is legal in Texas.
Maybe it was made legal to make it easier to deal with the deer populations in Texas....I don't know.
I wouldn't want to hunt that way, if I was to visit Texas, because I would feel like I was poaching too, even though it is legal down there.
I guess they have their reason for legalizing such a method for hunting, but I think they made a boo-boo and should have thought it over better.
Maybe it's an old law, that has never been revised to set the standards for today.
Maybe one of our Texas board members could shed some light on the whole thing for us, to help us all to understand why things are different in Texas.
If they are going to show a hunt like that on TV for the whole world to scrutinize, then at least they should have had a commentary on there, exlaining why this method is legal in their state, and frowned on everywhere else in North America.
Just my opinion of course (which doesn't carry much weight, in a discussion such as this)
Just a warning to all : Lets keep this discussion civil, because I know it could get nasty.
