finest,
well said and well balanced post. I'm wholeheartedly agree with you. I'm a voice of reason and all for the respect of all hunters...but at the same time, I will NOT back down and tug my tail behind my legs and be a victim or stereotypes for anyone.
My philosophy of hunting is this.....I do not intend to walk into the woods with a mentality that I'm ASIAN, I have more rights than white/black/mex hunters. The problem here is that it's totally the opposite with SOME white hunters. You see, these "SOME" white hunters think like this (speaking from past encounters), though they know legally the laws, but subconsciously, they have this mentality that the woods belongs to them. So if they see you in the woods....guess what?
They normally don't approach you with a civilized attitude....bu t they will approach you with stereotypes like..."you asian kill everything.... you don't respect other hunters...you asian...blah blah...blah...".
If i were to drop down to thier LEVEL of stupidity and list all the BAD things the white people done to this country's resources, they'll all be shamed!! You see....this is where the problem arise. These people are not looking to "SHARE" the woods like we all have been preaching. Do you see why as much as we try to work iron things out....it will NEVER going to get through these neanderthals' brains. It's who they are...they're an aggressive specie since time immemorial.
Of course, i've met some of the most KIND and respectful white hunters out there anyone could ask for. They are the FAMILY men and men of integrity....m en that understand the CONCEPT OF sharing the resources we all paid to enjoy. Men that think with their brain before they speak....men i could invite to dinner at my house and meet my family. These type of men are a rarity.
