Words of wisdom Destry from "Uncle Ben", who also wisely counselled a younger man to have his affairs with older experienced ladies-. The part about hunters giving trappers a "cold shoulder" or vice versa is right on the $. Just like the bow hunter who threatened to shoot my pal's Brittany in Oct. as the "dog was scaring off the deer he wanted to kill", albiet this was State land the the grouse and woodcock seasons were also open. When we become so "channeled" in our thinking that we forget the other guy who also likes to be outdoors, perhaps in a different venue that you or I might, we are headed down that long slippery slope-and we are playing right into the "antis", all they have to do is sit back and support PETA, GreenPeace, The Brady Bill Bunch and Obama and his new "stooge" at the BATF and we will self-destruct. Available land for upland hunting is shrinking, the waterfowling regs get more complex, our DNR tried the "brilliant idea" of color-coding the open seasons on the trout and salmon rivers- great, except for the few that are color-blind. "We have met the enemy and we be he" Ben didn't say that, Walt kelly did with POGO- but the words are ringin' true. RWTF
