Lol. Id say you are asking a man of vast experience...

Nope doc, cant think of any group that is as consistently "out there", or as big of a proven malignancy to the sport of hunting in this state as the environmental nuts currently.

No, but they sure are a pain in the azz when you want to cut a tree down in the ANF.
Bunch of "Save Bambi" Treehuggers....

1. An Eco-nut gives as much weight to a bat or rat as he does a deer or bear
2. An Eco-nut will prevent the use of a river that supports hundreds of farmers because there is a 3" endangered fish that no one except them even knew existed.
3. An Eco-nut will re-introduce wolves back into an area to kill off all the big game to ruin the hunting industry and ranchers in the name of Bio-diversity.
4. An Eco-nut will re-introuce a Fisher back into an area to hold down the small game population in the name of Bio-diversity.
5. An Eco-nut will support a one time killing off of large numbers of animals to get their numbers down to where the prey population can control their numbers going foward.
5. An Eco-nut doesn't believe in multiple use but wants Bio-Diversity where every living plant and animal carries equal weight in the Eco-system regardless of the negative effect on mankind.
6. A Eco-nut want's the country back to where it was before man, covered with old growth forests, with lions, wolves, and birds of prey keeping the prey population in check and man as a outide observer.
7. A Eco-nut will lie, cheat and steal to get his way and call anyone who points these things out as a conspiricy theorist or worse.

There are many more examples but I have other things to do.

   Nothing wrong with the' whole picture' from an eco point of view- We all want that.
    Problem is that way too many enviros are self described folks who have  little or no actual outdoor experience other that liking to take a walk on a paved hiking trail on rare occasion- but only on nice days. This, in their opinion makes them environmentalists cause they ' like' the outdoors.
    Those are the ones who truly and honestly believe that they may be shot by those bloodthirsty goons running around with the guns. They all vote too.
    I take exception to the premise that it may be happening in other states besides yours and that cause you are you it makes no difference- it does.
    In the next generation as your state becomes more and more Urban in its southern areas your way of life will no longer exist as it does- Ask those in NJ or California or any other state wherein the population has increased to huge Urban proportions with folks who know little or nothing of our lifestyle.- they didnt see it coming or believe it either.
You havent experienced it till ya go to meetings where 'concerns' are raised bout kids and doggies being shot by 'hunters' and the crowd murmers in agreement complete with tales of finding deer with their heads cut off by 'trophy hunters -with the paved trail folks all telling each other bout all the wounded deer they have found that were simply left by hunters.
      They believe it and they continue to propogate the myths to each other and as I said they all do the most important thing - THEY VOTE - and when they outnumber you ----
      Not trying to sound like some kinda ohmigod nut case- its just the way it is and the facts of those 'other states' support that----If your doubt this stuff just look at the conditions you all grouse about here on the forum all the time and try and remember back to when you might have thought this condition impossible too.
      Wont be in our lifetime in most places fellas but the way of life we have enjoyed is on the way out- Its already happenin for you too-thats why ya have 'deer wars'.

I recall a Tred Barta show where he harvested a record Griz or Brown Bear on one of those huge Alaskan Islands. The lease came up on the place and the Outfitter lost it to an anti group with the highest bid - NO HUNTING.
 Clearly they are well funded and well organized.
  Congrats- they have Saved another wilderness-but thats OK -its someplace else.
