Re: Whitetail doe season... is it time to take end it?
When our preferences are being criticized by "political correctness" rather then science. Social surveys that conclude a large portion of the population does not approve any hunt except for meat. So hunter lobby groups try to "clean up" hunting by pressing for meat hunts to placate the antis pretending intellectualism.It is a very thin veil. Afraid that they will lose it if we don't behave they are actually agreeing with the anti. They have scruples. The appeal to science as a way of legitimizing what we do is fine. Directing morals on what we do not so much cause morals ain't science. So if hunters want something socially like a trophy season it is no less legitimate then what antis want cause it is a social preference. If guys want more Whitetail around so be it. Pissing on them over it while you placate antis who have no skin in the game is hypocritical. So much of the conflict on this board is from one Theses. A social study on declining hunter numbers. It has become a dogma. That dog is getting old.
