Ultradog Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 ...to change people's perceptions Sad to see the negative stereotypes people have about hunters. And these are a lot of them rural people. I do my best to defend our sport but the shear numbers of people who don't like our sport is growing.

jbeck Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 We have them here in Pa, if you want to find out how many just buy ground, they come out of the wood work. LOL I run into the same type of people on the golf course, at the kids soccer games, driving down the interstate. People in general are just rude and think it's all about them.

wtnhunt Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Read through the first page there. Sounds like the typical problem with perception that is out there and the misconceptions by those who just don't know any better. Also sounds like some of the same frustrations we are having here. Too many poachers out there giving ethical hunters a bad rap. Real shame so many out there have no respect for anything. Posted this last week http://www.realtree.com/forums/deer-hunting/106635-petersen-article-poachers.html?daysprune=14, kind of goes along with damaging the perspective to those non hunters who associate that crap with every hunter in the woods.

Matchthedeerslayer Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 It sucks that we ethical hunters get a bed rep because of some other guys silly mistakes or the fact that poachers dont want to do all the hard work it takes to harvest a great deer. but what the people should know is that hunters are a necessary thing in the world because if we didnt do our jobs then the animal populations would be through the roof!i understand that people have problems with it but the fact is, is that its needed in the circle of life and it connects families and friends who may not see eachother that often and its fun to be outside with these people doing what you all love to do reguardless of background. i just wish people woutld see through the tabloids and bad news and really see what hunting is all about.

dbHunterNY Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 sounds like it was a tough battle to fight ultradog. i know what some of them were saying, because my dad sometimes says the same stuff about poachers on his land. people have got to not lump every hunter in with the bad apples though.
