They just want some meat. Doesn't mean that one point of view makes them superior - like a fly fisherman scorning the threadliner. After all, the animal still dies to provide food for us.
I also don't particularly like if the graphic photos are used as a brag session, which I feel some were doing, however, there is merit in examining the end results of projectiles and their efficiencies. Don't leave the site just because some people don't like your point of view. Just accept that you have your beliefs and others have theirs which you do not agree with.

I am not worried 'lentil" I will devote the time I spend on here to 1080 work though I do enough of that as it is my Wife reconds.

I cannot reconcile my work with 1080 and this forums production of ammunition for the enemy just to throw back into our face.

It is a bit hard to persuade landowners to accept hunting and trapping as a viable alternative to residual poisons like 1080 when I belong to a group like this.
