It never ceases to amaze me at some of the comments made on this site. Game taken under fair chase, within the guidelines of the law are at times on this site still spoken negatively about. Why is that? Sure that is ALOT of fox's, but the number doesn't make it wrong, nor does the pictures showing some captures in the leg traps. Would the comments be negative if I or someone else posted a picture of a duck or a pheasant being "pillow cased" by a load from one of our vintage double guns? I highly doubt it. What about some of the harvest numbers on the Dove hunting posts on this site and others. Hundreds of birds were harvested in one field on one day at times, is this bad? NO...it isn't to me, and I would have loved to seen them all lined up with the guns that took them.
Trapping tends to play on some peoples heart strings. One must remember, the laws were created to help maintain wildlife. The taking of these animals no matter in what numbers (within the law)are done to ensure proper levels of population. It is obvious that in that area, there is a huge fox population and thus, his high success rates. I would venture to say around that part of the country, quail numbers are down, I could be wrong though, but high populations of varmits as such take a devestating toll on quail, rabbit, pheasant, ducks, etc.
People should commend this guy for his accomplishment, not say things that imply something is wrong with the harvest numbers or the pictures of such. Hunting is hunting...trapping is trapping...if such things turn your stomach, may I humbly suggest you not post things here about it. We should be banding together for such legal efforts and results, not talking about how cute such and such was and it made me feel bad for it. That kind of talk from a hunter is just what the anti-hunters use against us. United means just that United...at times we are our worst enemy.
