Message: <blockquote data-quote="Monahawk" data-source="post: 1652917" data-attributes="member: 78905">Your last sentence in your post etudiant, has hit the nail right on the head as far as I am concerned.I used to be sceptical about hunting at one time, but since I went out of my way to talk to some hunters and listen and learn from them,then my naive views on the subject soon evaporated. In turn some have learnt a thing or two from the likes of myself and my fellow birders. Respect is the key word here.I will never go hunting myself, but I would advise all those who are against it to sit down and think for a moment, talk [nicely] to someone who is into hunting/wildfowling and maybe learn something. People who like outdoor pursuits like ourselves and hunters can get along without causing friction and mistrust and share the wonderments of nature.Remember, man has been a hunter since the year dot. Think about that.</blockquote>
