A boot? Aren't you lucky. I throw the grinds in the water... Boil it in my.hands.. And drink from hands.. We can't afford boots.. Or socks

After what I did with my wool sock the night before, I wouldn't be filtering my coffee thru it in the morning

If you want to put an anti in their place politely while opening their mind with a strong possibility of changing their opinions on hunting I would suggest purchasing the book "The politically incorrect guide to Hunting" Take it from me it is the best investment that you'll ever make. They sell it on ebay or amazon. I recently had a conversation with a professor from the University of London, and he went on to tell me his view on hunters and how we kill simply for the joy of it. All the while stuffing his face with my venison summer sausage. I bit my tongue and let him finish his piece, then I informed him on what role we play in the eco system and what true conservationists we really are and gave him some prime examples. You could see by the look on his face that I opened his eyes to things he had never considered. Had I not read that book I probably would have made some remark about his girlish features and soft city hands which would not have helped our cause one bit. Buy the book not only is it a great read, it can help you change peoples opinions of us!

CA - i work downtown - means we are ADAPTABLE....don't take it on yourself - citiots probably doesn't have a geographical meaning - more like a philosophical one i would say....

I'm not really sure how this post flipped from a woefully uninformed women tourist to all urbanites being antis and citiots.
The demographics of Toronto show that a number somewhere around half come from somewhere else. Many of those would be coming from rural or much less urban Canada and/or countries where they fended for themselves before arrival and were exposed to guns and hunting.
It's the all or nothing attitude expressed here that will turn the undecided or not yet informed against.
I for one would prefer to be judged for my opinions rather than my postal code.

CA in TO (Toronto)

Well said and so TRUE . .

There is good country stock in the city postal codes and I know many of them on this site and they are not posting this thread nor are they in the least bit defensive or offended because .." they are not , they know they are not . they know it isn't them I refer to as " citiots " .

Call me a redneck hill billy etc .. just not late for dinner . Even call me a citiot ,just not late for dinner . LOL " Citiot " though will not stick to me because I am who I am, but it will to many here no matter the postal code . LOL

Old Ford f-100 auto would start if you pulled it to about 30km/h. I think the best one we did was with an old fiat allis crawler. It had a drive disconnect in the back. Pulled that sucker as fast as the skidder coould go then had the younglad sitting on the winch engage the drives and hope like hell it didnt snub up solid.

LOL . you too eh ? lol Thanks for the good chuckle and remembrance .

I think there are two types of "anti's". The first are those who have never had anything to do with anything related to outdoors except for what the see in their local doggie parkette. They've haven't had any inkling as to what actually goes on outside their "sphere" of going to work and coming home and never giving it a second thought. The only reason theat they're "anti" is because of the BS they've been fed,only hearing one side. Believe it or not,it's been my experience that when discussing hunting and fishing,they're the most open-minded and can carry on an intelligent conversation. Most times,when confronted with solid facts on hunting and conservation and their place in the natural realm,they're the ones most likely to learn and understand.
The other kind are those whose minds are slammed shut,wrapped up in their own dogma and won't even discuss anything for fear that the may actually need to see other points of view,steadfastly refusing to listen to reason and solid facts,in case they may have to admit that their dogma is wrong,flat out,which they can't abide because it scares the shyte out of them that someone else may be right.
I call them LIBERALS. LOL
