However, we should get rid of our dogs. That, is what you said. The guys hunting state land, WMAs some private land that might be open to others, or, whatever. You clearly realize that far more people hunt just like me, rather than hunting tame animals in the middle of nowhere, with the aid of a plane, and will obviously do better with a dog along than they would otherwise. But, you advise to get rid of the dogs. That they will see more game. Those, were your words.
You are wrong, except, perhaps, in a very narrow window of hunting of a type practiced by you. And, you know it. Further, a huge portion of the hunters I know would simply not go hunting, if it weren't for the company of their dogs. Even in some sort of Shangri-la area accessible only by them.
Unrelated, but, telling, none-the-less, it is great to see you allied with the absolute proven fool of the double gun BBS. A word of advise, however. If he tells you that you can tell if your gun is a screw grip simply by looking at the rib extension, you may want to seek a second opinion.
Oh, and if you invite him hunting with you, you may want to invest in the twin turbo option for the engine of the bush plane-he will present the airframe with quite a load. He will have but one gun along, however, his trusty Super Black Eagle.
DO ENJOY.

You must be related to Hubert Humphrey as your quotes are out of context and your lack of comprehension and understanding are very poor considering you think of yourself as a librarian. You need bigger fatter glasses and a course on reading and understanding.

Are you so lacking, dense and ignorant that you do not understand what "MORE GAME OF ALL TYPES MEANS"......"GET RID OF THE DOGS AND HUNT IN PEACE AND QUIET WITHOUT SLINGS, SWIVELS AND PARAPHENELIA"....CAN YOU GRASP AN UNDERSTANDING OF THESE COMPLEX WORDS, HOWEVER SPACED.......?......MAYBE THE SPACING THREW YOU OFF.......?......MAYBE PARAPHENELIA IS TOO BIG OF A WORD FOR YOU.....?.....

DO YOU TAKE YOUR DOG WITH YOU IN A TREE STAND FOR GAME SPOTTING....?
DO YOU TAKE YOUR DOG WITH YOU ARCHERY HUNTING FOR PEACE AND QUIET....?

Are you well read enough to understand peace and quiet.....?

Again, just more Minnesoooooota Democrat twisted words from the mouth of a Fool......a Very Dense Fool who can't read, let alone understand English as written.

Do you enjoy your condescending statements about HomelessjOe.....? ....Does this build your station in life or on this board.....you must have a very serious case of SMALL MAN SYNDROME to go along with your small lacking mentality and your big glasses..........Why don't you put your picture up for us to critique, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF SPARKY............??


There are many intelligent, experienced hunters on this board and here are their intelligent EXPERIENCED COMMENTS, BEFORE YOU STUCK YOUR MINDLESS OPINION INTO PRINT, several pages before your ONE SIZE FITS ALL BRAIN WAVES OVER TOOK YOU....:

But, they ARE a lot of trouble.
