Flyrod1,
you are wrong and i am from what it appears, to the only one on this forum with stones to say so.
man, this is supposed to be a forum of exchanging ideas and opinions. you are making juvenile, personal comments directed towards me because we do not share common beliefs. you are wrong again.
a narrow-minded extremist. wow, there is a new term from the media whorde. never thought i would see it describe a fellow hunter. but i guess that is where the divide has taken us.
so you say the special interest groups defeated this bill. sometimes you win and some times you lose. i have seen it happen to bill i wanted passed too. are gonna sling mud on everyone who opposes your views and sulk or are you gonna keep trying?
your idea that we will not be able to hunt in the future is a little far fetched, because of some smaller churches beliefs, don't you think?
my church is a rural church. you are just as likely to see bib overalls in the pews as you are suits. and only one man has said he wanted to hunt on Sunday. becareful of polls. they are rarely accurate.
God Bless,

Creek Chub,
First let me preface my response by saying that I have never previously been engaged in a whizzing contest on any internet forum, never. I don't intend to continue this one, but I will respond to your last post to me.
Twice you say that I'm wrong, about what?....or wrong in general, without any argument or facts to support your assertion.
You stated that I made personal, juvenile comments towards you. As far as personal, I stated that I thought you were self-rightous, sanctimonious, and narrow minded, meaning in your views, as evidenced in your posts, whether that fits you personally, I really don't know, you seem a little thin skinned here. You seem to have done a lot of interpolating from what I have said. I suggest you re-read my post in a literal fashon,and re-read yours. I'd hope you'd find my statements direct to the issues. In any event, I offer you an apology if you took my statements for more than they were meant. As for juvenile, hardly, I've twenty years on you, brother, but I'm nowhere near my second childhood, yet.
You implied that I either thought, or called you a narrow minded extremist. Nowhere in my post is the word extremist, your interpolation, not my word. As for the "divide" you alluded to between fellow hunters, you betcha, when one group tries to deny, what appears to be the current majority of hunters, those rights that should be inherent in the ownership of private property!
The "special interest" thing has been covered, but believe me, I don't sulk! I may become calmly enraged, as I often do about ineptitude, carelessness, stupidity, incompetence, negligence and a slew of other inconsiderations, but then it just furthers my resolve to fix the problem. None of the things mentioned in the last sentence were in any way directed at you, just used as examples.
Your next paragraph, addressing a far fetched notion that we won't be able to hunt in the future because of some small church's beliefs, baffles me. You're interpolating something again that has no bearing on what I wrote. My statement had to do with: if a statewide referendum were held to allow, or not allow hunting in general, that we would lose. I doubt that that referendum would happen in the near future, but if you left it to the devices of HSUS, PETA, and the rest of the anti-hunting groups, a special ballot initiative would be held next week! You should re-read my post.
I'm sure your rural church has all good intentions, a fine congregation, and I sincerely hope it and all who frequent it are blessed, and that the majority does not look downward on the one soul that would have Sunday hunting.
You said be careful of polls, in the past I'd agree with you. After what we saw happen in the November elections, I'd say the polls, at least here in VA, have come a long way, much to my dismay of some of the outcomes. Through many of the organizations, clubs, and shooting sports and their associations that I'm involved, or have been involved with, I come in contact with a lot of people. Within those contacts, which have numbered in the hundreds over a short period of time, I've done a little informal polling. The overwhelming majority of the folks I've spoken to, when informed on the issue, would support hunting on Sunday in the commonwealth of Virginia, on private property.
As far as any personal feud between us, as far as I'm concerned, there is none. I disagree with you on your stand agianst Sunday hunting, and the religiosity of your arguments against it, but I will not condemn your beliefs.
I wish you well....
