I've been a Hunter Education Instructor for nearly 25 years, always optimistic that proper education will triumph over the "Slob Hunters". Now I'm not so sure.
Each time I went hunting this year I've seen tresspassing, game law violations, poaching, license fraud, and careless firearm handling. Slobs stealing treestands, cameras, shooting up signs and property, it never ends.
As a property owner I'm spending more time keeping tresspassers off my land than taking enjoyment in the hunt.
It has now become easier to find violations than to find ethical hunters doing the right thing. Sad as it may seem, I think the Slob hunters are winning the ethical battle.
