The new Restrictions are out... with some additions

  all anybody has to do is look at picayune strand,   a decent no quota needed for archery season.   opening weekend is crowded, camp ground is overflowing but after opening weekend it slows way down,   during the week place is just about empty when you consider its size.  fwc screwed hundreds of hunters by making it quota only, how the hell can any of you public land hunters support fwc when all they do is restrict and limit hunting opportunities on public land,,  oh but they added some summertime hog hunts,   well thats great now every weirdo with a AR can walk around the woods, no hunting license needed,no speaka english,no experience,   thats awesome thanks fwc.          plain and simple fwc is not a supporter or friend of public land hunters .

And bullfrog, your about as full of shit as grizz

I love it when you talk dirty to the unwashed members on the forum, Artemis!

Im not gonna throw any hunters of any kind under the bus. Theres been good and bad in every group since the beginning of time. Theres bad ministers. Once all the "good" hunters get rid of the doggers, the airboaters, the buggy hunters, the reapers......it will become much easier to get rid of me and you....

So if everyone lies on dog hunters and dog hunters are innocent victims , tell me what exactly makes dog hunters so prone to be victimized?

On a WMA I hunt, the guys against dog hunting are simply jealous. They like their method of sitting in a tree, running cameras. They get incensed when they see a hound on their camera. They think the dog hunters kill “their” deer they’ve watched and given a “special” name. The humorous thing is they don’t mind sitting in a tree and shooting that named deer if the dogs run him by.
As most know I bow hunt, muzzle-load hunt, still hunt and dog hunt. One outstanding thing I see dog hunters do is bring all the kids on the hunt. Still hunters aka trophy hunters, spray down w scent killer, speak in whispers, use ozone treatment, sneak in like assassins and leave all the kiddos w mom at home.

I agree with pin, swamp, and meat above.

I have never had a problem with hunters running dogs where it's legal and generally tried using them to my own advantage.

The ONLY problem I have had with dogs while I'm hunting is always due to mongrels that escaped their nearby yards and were running wild without handlers. They were pets that basically got out and harassed the deer non stop, day and night, on our farm in SC.
