No, Akenatan, I have not refused to address it, I have done nothing but address it. You two won't listen to the answers you're given. Get your head out of the sand and go back and read what I and others have posted. You're the ones who somehow think that hunters get an orgasmic thrill at the moment an animal dies. I said not. You seem to think that if someone doesn't admit that you are right, then they're avoiding an issue. But I also have said that the entire enterprise can be enjoyable, when you take all of the elements of the trip and the outcome together. So no one has said that hunting isn't fun. If you don't like the answers you receive, that's your problem. But some very good answers to your concerns have been posted, complete with citations. You and guest, on the other hand, have done nothing but whine and ring your hands.

If you want someone to speak to the big game hunting issues, then email Ted Nugent.

Guests become obnoxious when they don't identify themselves because there's no telling them apart and they are ultimately taking no responsibility for their arguments. Often times they're troublemakers. We have plenty of guests who use a regular moniker because they're using computers on which they don't want a Mudcat cookie, and that is fine.
