Opinion piece on the Spring Bear hunt

[Snowwalker]

LOL. You watch too many movies. If your objective was to demonstrate your completely ignorance about modern resource extraction in southern Africa consider your mission accomplished.

How would my dramatic statements be different from your name calling.

You are opposed to responsible wildlife management so you attack the participants.

I am sure you would be opposed to the idea of guides taking hunters out on a walk to shoot grouse. Not that they need a guide to hunt grouse in ontario, but it sure helps break the ice, and allows a guide to get a good reading on a guest.

The reinstatement of a province wide spring bear hunt will have many benefits. So as long as the MNRF and the Government continue to make decisions based on fact and not emotional insanity we can have a bright future.

How dare you tell someone to go somewhere else because you disagree with their opinion. With only 7 posts, you have not earned that right.

As if you have a right, or the responsiblity to decide.

Not always blistering heat. During our summer (their winter) temperatures are quite moderate in southern Africa not unlike summer weather here except much drier. Usually the hunters are taken out in a bakkie (4-wheeler) and driven around. Giraffes aren't hard to see and not particularly wary. In your words, the goof who thinks he's a Mighty White Hunter shoots from a couple of hundred yards at most and then is hauled back to the lodge for cocktails.



It's a business just like the spring bear hunt is here. The animals aren't game but a commodity to improve the local economy and it's easy money. If you want to make a PH earn his keep hunt kudu, buffalo, oryx, eland or some other animal that requires a little effort.

Your giraffe hunt is no different than a guided moose hunt with an outfitter here. Have your guide drive hunters along logging roads, moose are not hard to see in clear cuts and not particularly wary. Step out of vehical or ATV and just off the road, so in your words the goof who thinks he's a mighty white hunter shoots his moose from a couple hundred yds and back to the lodge for drinks. Its business just like African hunt, easy money. If you want your guide to earn his money go on a mountain hunt for elk or sheep or some other animal that takes some effort.
Do you know how much work is involved in setting up and maintaining a successful bait site for bear?

A low post count certainly doesn't mean that someone can't recognize trolling bullshyte when they see it.

We all know who they are and new members will quickly pick up on them,too,because they aren't stupid people,either,right? When they start their nonsense on their posts,simply don't engage. Maybe,if they're marginalized enough,they'll get the message and STFU or just quietly bugger off. Say now,we haven't seen welsh around for awhile,eh?

No I do not, nor does anyone, have the right to tell others that they disagree with, to go elsewhere. Especially after being a member for less than a month, not the number of posts.

You guys cannot bash other hunters and call then name
We don’t always have to agree with one another but it’s important that we learn to respect each other
So stop you’re name calling

Is there a problem addressing you by your first name ? If it was incorrect and your son,s name is not Luca this thread of yours should have been corrected.IMHO

So unless you agree with the majority, everything you say about any subject is trolling? Not much of a 'discussion', if everyone agrees with one another.

[Gilroy]

Too bad you can’t share your great experiences without insulting others. People might actually listen to you if you could

But you have clearly demonstrated your true colours so I’m out

"While I realize you just love to stir the pot Gilroy and I truly shouldn't feed the trolls, I just feel kind of sorry for you with your obvious lack of real entertainment so I will"

Yes Sir you are truly out to lunch.No insults here.....LOL

Yet another one line TROLLING post that Mikepal is famous for. You should read over some of your hundreds of posts and see how many like this you have posted.NEXT.
