The anti-hunter treehuggers love to hear talk about any hunter giving it up ,another feather in there cap.

There's no question that the story was over-emotional and the guy went a little overboard on some of his points, but I guess I'm willing to cut him just a bit of slack given what he'd recently been through. Bottom line is, most normal folks wouldn't have much difficulty seeing what's sad about a guy's dogs getting killed.
You nailed it Buckshot!Buckshot said:Jose,
" Or maybe you like to stir the shit. "
How many of y'all have seen wolves in the wild?? And how many have been attacked?? How many of you hound hunters out there have had your dogs eaten by wolves???
Bambistew said:I agree 100% with Buzz and Jose.
Hound dogs are tools for hunting. I'll put $100 on the table that says that guy has shot at least one of his own hound dogs in the 34 years... Hell I'd put $200 on it that he's shot more than one! Thats part of hound life, especially if he's been around it for that long, I'll garentee you that this isn't the first hound dog he's seen dead nor will it be the last. Get real, this guy isn't going to give up what he obviously loves to do because he lost half his 'pack' to wolves. The picture of him holding up whats left of his beloved Blackie by the ear proves how much respect he has for them!
Buckshot said:Wow, the range of responses to this amazes me. I was feeling kinda bad about calling out Jose because I assumed just about any hunter would feel empathy for what that guy went through with his dogs…but now it’s looking like that’s not necessarily the case at all. So I apologize Jose. I guess there’s just vastly more of a gulf between hound-hunters and other hunters than I ever realized.
That becomes painfully obvious when someone suggests that a hound is just a tool that’s as easy to replace as a crescent wrench.
I agree that fella probably has had to cull a few dogs that wouldn’t work out in his time but I doubt if he enjoyed it or was even indifferent about it.
There’s been a fair bit of criticism of him for claiming to quit after this but I think I can see his point. If wolves got to the point where a guy was losing dogs to them on a real regular basis then I reckon that would just take most of the fun right out of it and I’d be inclined to throw in the towel too.
There’s obviously an incredible difference in perspective on this between the guys that have had hounds and those that haven’t and I hope this will help somebody see our side of it a bit more.
