[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1028426, member: 1742"] Van Zwoll, B&C and now even RMEF is getting into it, both organizations that Van Zwoll is very involved with. I think it's very easy for someone of Zwoll's apparently tremendous worldwide hunting opportunities to perhaps lose site of the guy that's just trying to fill his family freezer and can't afford to go out of state to do it, in effect having a bit of a, and I hate to say it, snobbish tone. I've read a lot of Zwoll the last few years and I'm pretty sure that is coming through, unfortunately, as he consistently makes sideways remarks about long range hunting. Discussions like this denigrating one kind of hunting over another just feeds the antis. Where does it stop? Should the use of camo and scent killers (ect., etc. with another 100 things--start thinking about it) be curtailed? Maybe we should just hunt in loin clothes with a spear? And who has the infinite wisdom to decide all this? B&C? RMEF? Zwoll? No, instead we should all encourage legal, RESPONSIBLE hunting of any kind. Period. Don't denigrate another hunter's legal, responsible freedom of choice. Stand together for the concept of legal, responsible hunting. Period. [/QUOTE]
