We should show are numbers instead of hidding in the brush and on the way home! How can we say our hunting and fishing and stuff is norm if we are always worried about bad publicity and crap. I say put your game on where ever you feel like, show it! Hunting is normal!! Smoking pot and kissing bunnies is just a on going fad that is pasted down, then they go out and kill one of their own range feed chickens,lol. So much of the younger genneration just follow a pattern, and fall into that line of thinking. It's all about brain washing. It all boils down to advertizing. We all stand up we will be seen!! Are votes do count (except in the east ,lol)
 
I promote the lawfully use of firearms and conceled carry all the time at the Tyee website, drives the wingnuts crazy, but makes it hard to fight when I say things like: A woman has the right to protect herself! :D
 
Here in Moose Jaw, hunting and fishing is pretty much the norm. Im yet to even come across an anti hunter or even a person that has anything bad to say about guns.
Everytime I go for a coffee at Tim Hortons here in town I come across a walleye fisherman or hunter of some type.
 
The only reason I can think of to hide your game is specifically because of those "anti's". It gives them fuel to contact their local Liberal moron politician and possibly make things harder for us than it already is. Them's the facts. There is a large percentage of the populace that eat bacon in the morning, chicken for lunch and a nice steak for supper who are the first to say negative things about those of us that hunt, and ultimately they vote for the guy/gal (Liberal, ususally) that doesn't like hunting. Two-faced, yes! But, regardless, it doesn't help our plight. Why do people eat beef? Because they don't have to go out and kill it, clean it, or watch the process. We live in a very insular society, especially near big cities.
CBW, I agree 100% with your sentiment, but it simply won't work in the real world. Now, it depends where you live, though as ScottR has pointed out. I currently live near Toronto (Whitby) but I am soon looking to move to Port Loring. I couldn't even remotely think about driving home with a deer strapped to my Jeep in Whitby, but in Port Loring I'll be honking my horn like it was a wedding!
The "real" world only exists in the "unreal" world.

I don't hide anything. If you look in the back of my truck you may see dead stuff there.

It's your problem if it offends you.

Agreed 100%, Gatehouse. But we've got to consider the impact, my friend. Where you live, it might not offend, but in many other places it might freak out enough voters (and don't deny that politics isn't the major factor to hunting regs!) to make a detriment to hunting. As gun owners and hunters we have to play the game and make ourselves look like heroes in order for us to gain popularity with the morons, if that's even possible. So I say, we have to walk softly and hide our big sticks and be nice to ensure our future as hunters.
The majority don't realize how important we are...
 
I completely disagree.

It's hiding that has got us the FIrearms Act and other bull#### gunlaws.

Make somethign normal, and people accept it.

Hide it away, make it a secret, and you will screw yourself.
 
First time round, every cop in T.O. would be lining the streets. :roll:
It would sure be nice to show all those yuppies that we really are just normal folks though, and have a good time while we're at it.
Alas, it's justa dream... Miller would die laughing if we asked.

Most of the gunowners I know have moustaches so the spectators might think the ###s have started arming themselves.
 
Any hunter who hides what he does , marginalizes hunting and hunters. This is an acient and nessessary practice that is/was as important to the evolution of humanity as the written word or the wheel.

That is right.

Came across few anti's and made my point clear and told them their ways are wrong, and not necessary in polite maner.
And guess what? they never told me after that that it is wrong. Some even tried wild game and went shooting with me.

Mind you they are very few and far in between around here.... after all this is Saskatchewan.
