birdhunter39 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 i Guss i have way too much thinking time on my hands or mind , but any ways during any of your seminar's how often do you have anti hunters and other anti hunting organizations try to stop you from having your seminar's or at least try to disrupt your seminar's ?? i read your so you want to be a pro staffer and you talk about your time on the road in the air away from your family and your jobs . I was wondering if this has ever happened . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyoitker1 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have not run into any anti-hunters yet but I did run into some non-hunters at a show. I had some kids come up while I had a hunting video playing. I noticed that the kids were watching the video and they said to me "you just shot that deer." Then their parents came up and said we aren't hunters. I explained to them that hunting was necessary to keep the animals healthy and in check. I also explained that we eat the animals that we shoot out of respect for the animal and that it helps to keep the herd under control . They actually went away understanding why hunting is necessary. I am sure that there will be a day that things will get ugly with an anti-hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconerKitty Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Have your thoughts and responses already in mind. Sort of keep a mental outline. Then you can have an intelligent debate with them, without it becoming a shouting match or public scene. They may act like fools, but your calm responses will help. I assume that they can be escorted to the door by security if they become disruptive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Andrus Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 nope, hasnt happened yet! did sit next to a lady who was a Peta member on a plane once, when I was going on a turkey hunt. Believe it or not she told me she understood hunting much better and thanked me for the visit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Smotherman Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Hey guys, I have spoke all over the country and have never had anyone come up to me that was an ANTI. I figured at some point that might happen and have tried to prepare for that but it has come up yet. Tony Smotherman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
