This conversation could go on and on, but I am sure you and I both no that does not need to happen.
I am not even going to argue the fact that you state your points very well. I do however agree to disagree with you. There may be states that the antis are winning, but in my state it is the other way around.
Really if you think about it, is there a difference between a rock, stick, or boot? Either way it is getting the job done. As far as posting pics, yes I will agree there are some pics that are best left off of forums. The pics that KC posted were not of a "tired" coyote being torn apart. All I see is a young group of hounds doing what they love. Granted KC has a rock in his hand, but what does that have to do with anything?
I can tell you right now I sure as he11 would not shoot into a group of hounds. You are just asking for something bad to happen. Most pics that KC ever posts are ones that the coyote is already dead, with maybe a dog or two standing over it. Even he will tell you there are many times he will shoot the coyote in front of his dogs. And sometimes they will bay them up. I have yet to see any pics that he posts that would hurt the sport.
The pic just shows him with a rock, it does not show him using the rock. But lets say for a second that he had a stick, would you see that any different? In a situation such as a bay, using a gun is for the most part not an option.
I do not post pics of my hunting, because if I did believe me if you think this post was tasteless, you would not like mine at all. I will admit though, the pics I would have to post would be a little to much.
I will all so admit I lost my cool with you and for that I apologize, lets not keep this going.
