I had to assure her the majority of hunters had a lot more respect for the life they had just taken than these clowns. I rarely watch any hunting anymore, the only guy I will watch is Rinella.

Another way they hurt hunting, is the promotion of products that are supposed to make your hunt a sure thing. Anyone who has been at this long enough knows there is no substitute for time spent in the field, but in their attempts to peddle snake oil to sportsmen I think they've managed to convince the general public that poor bambi doesnt stand a chance against the technology available to modern hunters.
