To many hunters and no respect

Ethics and respect are all but gone for sure. I too love the sport, love my dogs, and I love meeting and hunting with new folks all the time. I completely understand your frustrations. I get after folks around here every now and then about hunting where they shouldn't, posting damaging pictures, or not taking care of their dogs. All these things affect me and what I do. Hunting wherever whenever is a problem because those types don't respect the property owners and leave trash and ruts on the places, cut fences and leave gates open, shoot cows or deer, or run cows through fences. Not to mention possibly upset cattle that might be gonna get worked the next day or run hogs that me or whoever was planning on hunting the next day. The pictures on social media makes me mad too. Dead or cut up dogs should never be posted. All that is is ammo for the tree huggers and it plants a bad vision in the mind of those that are a straddle of the fence because they are. ignorant about our sport. If you want to give a tribute to a good dog that's fine but sensationalize it with graphic gory details. Post a picture of the dog when he was happy and healthy. Running around town with skinny, wormy, flea infested dogs that are cut all up is just dumb. Again it puts a negative light on the sport and all hunters. I too would do pretty much anything to help other hunters. All.i expect is respect. We had the same dog stolen out of the woods twice. It don't make sense. Don't let the fad, wants be hunters push you out. Put it on their butts. When you know they are doing wrong, put the game warden in their life. Talk to your land owners and give them a heads up. I've done it I ain't gonna lie. Im.not gonna let some yahoo ruin places for me that I've been hunting for years and years. My land owners were all about keeping them off their places too. Those type people aren't usually very popular with other hunters either because they are probably doing it to more than just you. You gotta protect you and yours.
