Just my opinion, but it's not us against the anti's. We're never going to change the minds of anti's, they're fanatics, as are we to a lesser extant. The real battle is for the "swing vote", the vast majority of Americans who have no strong opinion on hunting. Both we and the anti's are competing for the "silent majority". The anti's have shown they will use any means at their disposal to further their cause. Pictures posted on a public forum, showing no repspect for a dead animal, is just handing them ammo to use against us. We have to be smarter than that. We have to swallow some self rightousness and fight the smart fight.
... These are the people we need to keep and supplying our opponents with ammo to swing them against is just plain counterproductive.
Well said Rob.
Brent's condescension to the "ignorance" of those who disagree with him is also counterproductive. I'd be embarrassed about that rather than about being part of a diverse hunting and shooting community.
