I flagged him down and asked if he would kindly explain to the man that it was illegal to hunt at that spot, since I was getting nowhere. I lucked out Fm a peaceable person, but every time I confront a hunter for a potential or at my home (my former comments about or possible violation, be it work-relatwish I I had a firearm under my atm. I haven't ever come upon handling weapons aside), a flagrant violation, but I know that obtaining a license plate number would be the hnt of my interference. I don't want to mess with anyone who feels no compunction to poach or to trespassand Tm the only thing standing between them and their prize. I don't need immediate recourse.

The hunt, if I reach into the nether regions of my imagination, could be exciting. The tracking of scent and sign is surely a skill, one that is being lost, at that Ifs the tilling I have a problem with. Despite these frustrations and contrasting moralities, hunting is not an issue I can universally and absolutely oppose with righteous indignation. I don't like to hunt, but I don't get to say what everyone else can da I don't like how some hunters hunt, but I can do my part to influence compliance; (or put a wrench in the works, depending on how you want to look at it). Perhaps thafs sitting on the fence to some, but I think it shows how difficult it is to delineate everything into black and white when you're dealing with reality and not the abstract Norma Nunn W) 259-50(H) 259-72- ed 21 75 QUALITY REALTY SOS EL Mdn St. 299-64FAXt (SOI ) 299-09- 99 07 CUSTOM BUILT NEAR NEW HOME an 1 aae.
