It's about time Texas got serious on poachers - Page 2

I am really going to look into the German way of Hunting that was posted on TBH. I am going to contact the guy up in Montana and see what he thinks about starting a National campaign to have our hunting mimick theirs. They are much more liberal than we are and yet their hunters are highly praised and respected and the public looks up to them even being as liberal as they are. With this comes education as most hunters have to study for tests and are responsible for identifying and aging every type of wildlife in their area. This is really interesting. I will forward the link later on if anyone would like to read it. As everyone knows that have read my posts I am a huge proponent to education. I think we can learn a lot from the German system although it realistically probably could not be implemented here because we do not have the history and dedication as they do, generally speaking. With this there would be no poaching.

The German way also doesn't allow the hunter to take but a very small portion of the meat. The majority of it goes to the huntmaster.

Also in Germany there is" NO BOWHUNTING".

OK, I should probably digress and say take parts of the German method and see about implementing them here. WHat I was really shooting for was that we got respect and we respect the wildlife as a whole instead of just the ethical people following the rules and the rest doing as they please.
