True anti's aren't our problem. Anti hunters don't need any fuel or excuse, our hunting is the problem. However, we don't really have a battle just against "anti's". We don't control our destiny because there are no hunting rights, just privileges.
When it comes down to it, average joe citizen get's asked from time to time to vote for or against our privileges. They can be massaged to believe that we have no honorable tradition in hunting if we can be painted as enjoying animal suffering or taking glee in an elk going off a cliff. Antis will hate no matter what. But for a group of people who rely on john q public, who doesn't hunt, to continue our pastime, some policing of our image is a really good idea.
