I grew up a huge Ted fan. Saw him talk at a sport show where he described shooting a treed bear and dancing in the crimsom shower. Anyone listening that wasn't a hunter walked away an anti. Darn near turned me into a PETA fan.
We can be our own worst enemy. It's not us vs. the antis, it's who looks more resoanable to the non-hunters that matters. We need to police our own ranks, but guys like Ted think we can justify anything as long as it's legal, like canned hunts. I'm not sure Fred would approve of him today. Leopold and TR surely wouldn't.
