"Master hunters" LMAO😂 :chuckle:

There it is... primarily a name problem.
At least it's better than what the fishermen got.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

  I don't care for the mh program.    really don't care for the second elk deal.  the fee for a mh should be as much as a multi tag or more.  mike w

Not a Master Hunter here, but I get it.  It's the state tying to maintain relations with people impacted by wildlife damage in various forms in an effort to maximize opportunities for the rest of the hinting community.  Perfect? No.  Perfection is typically a ridiculously high bar to measure something by.  Go find the latest Bugle and read the article on "Shoulder Hunts".  Similar type programs being tried in other states.

There is not one charge in this thread leveled against MH's that can't be leveled against actors in the general season.  I would assume closing down the general because someone found a knucklehead would not be agreeable to us all.  (But I bet the anti-hunters would love it!)

If it the MH program is not for you, don't get involved.  Let it go...  It has no impact on you otherwise.

Enjoy the Holidays!

It cannot not impact non-Master Hunters. 

Simply stated, the uniformed public simply sees (or hears/reads about) a hunter acting in an illegal or unethical or whatever bad moniker you want to place on the behavior, and by default, gets lumped onto all hunters in general. 

The Master Hunters make an agreement to be held to a higher standard voluntarily, knowing full well the results if they violate that agreement.

Agreed.  Hunting missteps, regardless of source, reflect badly on hunting in general, and this incident is no exception.  I have no data to back it, but I would assert that as a population, the MH hunter program has a higher ethical standard than the general hunting population simply because it takes additional effort to achieve the cert.  Are all MHs of high ethical standard? Of course not.  Are all general season hunters of low ethical standard? Of course not.

So looking at what the MH program is trying to do in balance with what would generally seem to be positive results, you'd advise throwing out the entire program for the acts of a few?  I don't believe it. Because if you did you'd be advocated the elimination of hunting general due to the acts of a few.

If this was directed to me, no.  Individual actions deserve individual responses and consequences.

I was just rebutting your comment that the incident does not effect other hunters.

So much negativity and borderline hate of one hunting group, against another.

A house divided...

So disappointing.
