spqr ~ in my area man i dont encounter too much of the 'you hunt, you're a horrible person attitude'. hunting where im from is a way of life, but yes i do know what you mean, a lot of people go into scary asshole mode at the mention of hunting. im heading back out tommorow morning for small game (mainly grouse and squirrels) cant wait! one of these years i'll get into bow hunting, thats where the big bucks are i hear.
