The thought that we only collectively,, own other life forms, yet can individually posses a space of land and do what we please on it,,, to it,,,with only those we choose, it is a sheer miracle it worked in the past and cannot be expected to work well in the future. This concept in thinking perhaps is the reasonings behind modern man's quest for the old feeling he searches for ,,,,to belong. Freedom, a truely American concept will loose to out to greed, competition, possesion and insecurity. Yet the cure's to these are found in the forests, mountains, lakes and oceans of this place that is our home. Respect, self reliance,comradery,viablity and tenacity or in-attiquicy are taught best in nature and can be inspiring or humbling. The facts are before us. Man is an intricate animal.He questions his motives and reasons. It is hard for me not to think of society as a child, young , greedy, not worried for itself, unable yet to really consider its actions, looking for its identity and place. Not caring fully yet for the advise it gets from its older members, their deaths locked away.But in every child there is great potential, and certainly all is not lost and hopefully our outdoor children will prove their tenacity and survive with the help of natures lessons in living and thinking.<br /><br />Rod ElmerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-14954545797725816702010-11-18T14:09:39.944-05:002010-11-18T14:09:39.944-05:00And add to the double standard, the fact that we p...And add to the double standard, the fact that we pay the state to farm raise trophy trout (etc) and stock our waters so we can catch them. Is an angler who catches these fish any different from the high fence hunter? I suppose in waters besides private ponds, the fish can "get away", but those who know the rivers and where/when the stocking occurs, know exactly where these fish go. <br /><br />Then add again to the double standard. Why do we insist upon removing all wild deer from a fenced in area? We don't insist upon removing every raccoon or porcupine. <br /><br />The double standard(s) is why I don't object to high fence facilities, even ones that enclose wild deer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-54175511436412422352010-11-18T12:56:56.931-05:002010-11-18T12:56:56.931-05:00Easy.....Money, greed (not necessarily monitary) a...Easy.....Money, greed (not necessarily monitary) and ego.

Seeing a bunch of farm mallards walking across a neighbor's front lawn this week gave me pause: why is raising waterfowl--the same species we hunt--acceptable, when raising deer, elk, or moose (species that we also hunt) is not? Why is raising pheasants okay, but not deer?<br /><br />Unless we have a clear bias about ungulates and other large mammals that we're completely honest about . . . I don't believe peoples' thinking about the issue is all that coherent or consistent.<br /><br />Those mallards behind the chicken wire are just as off-limits to me as the high fence elk or deer. One can purchase whitetailed deer breeding stock with uber-antler genetics just the same as one can purchase mallards from McMurray Hatchery. <br /><br />Why the double standard?Jim Tantillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12520467623399679472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8400018814519499369.post-999117915956807882010-11-14T03:21:21.090-05:002010-11-14T03:21:21.090-05:00Jim,
Thank you very much for thinking well enough...Jim,<br /><br />Thank you very much for thinking well enough of my writing to post it here.<br /><br />I really think you hit it right on the head when you say that there are several reasons why people hunt. In many cases I think that hunters don't even consciously realize why they hunt and why they pull the trigger on a particular animal. it is that deep introspection that we are lacking.<br /><br />I sure would like to look into the Pennsylvania experience. I would like to see why it has been difficult, and where those difficulties lie.<br /><br /> <br />Best Regards,<br /><a href="http://af.linkedin.com/pub/albert-rasch/14/623/958" rel="nofollow">Albert A Rasch</a><br /><a href="http://trochronicles.blogspot.com/2009/03/game-reserves-high-fence-hunting-what.html" rel="nofollow">The Rasch Outdoor Chronicles: Game Reserves, Preserve Hunting, High Fence Hunting, What are the Facts?</a>Albert A Raschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431765456546701021noreply@blogger.com
