It’s not a matter of making regulations and/or limits based on what hunters need. Regualtions and limits are put in place to manage the resource and its needs. If managing the resource properly doesn’t make some hunters happy, tough. Without a properly managed resource, NO HUNTERS get to enjoy the pursuit of said resource.

Maybe you should have checked out Wikipedia since your wallet didn't do you justice:

http://www.scstatehouse.gov/scconstitution/a01.php

"SECTION 25. Hunting and fishing.

The traditions of hunting and fishing are valuable parts of the state’s heritage, important for conservation, and a protected means of managing nonthreatened wildlife. The citizens of this State have the right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife traditionally pursued, subject to laws and regulations promoting sound wildlife conservation and management as prescribed by the General Assembly. Nothing in this section shall be construed to abrogate any private property rights, existing state laws or regulations, or the state’s sovereignty over its natural resources."

I particularly like the part where it says “The citizens of this State have the right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife”

Unfortunately, it’s not in red, but I hope you still find credibility in this old black and white state constitution…

Again, I am all for stiffer penalties, but loss of hunting rights, 5K fines and jail time is rediculous. Again, tell me 1 dog hunter who can afford to pay $400 per hound every weekend? I don't know any that can afford it. Warbler wants $5K per hound!!!

Alright Skinnee, you go hunting next season and get caught without your purchased privileges and see just how far your “right to hunt” legislative pathway for providing hunting in the state takes you. I’m banking on a very stiff fine that if you refuse to pay will land you in jail. Do that, and win…then you will have me in a corner. Otherwise, you are in dreamland about your “rights,” and you know it.

Now, THIS is a red herring... Yes, there is a LAW that you must have a hunting license while hunting. But please tell me again that hunting is NOT a right when it clearly says so in the state constitution. Let's stick to the argument here...

And just for the record, I have been cited with an expired fishing license before just a mere week after it expired. I did not get a stiff fine or jail time… I was told that I had to get it renewed before my court date and if I did, there would be no fine. If I did not, the fine was like $135 or something like that…

Dreamland… Ha ha ha… Please, just tell me that I misread the state constitution… That’s all you need to do… Tell me that the state constitution does not dictate the right to hunt…

When did I ever say anything about jail time? I did mention losing your hunting/fishing priviledges and stiffer fines, of which I firmly believe in.

For me, and again this is my personal opinion and belief, if a person doesn’t want to lose their hunting/fishing priviledges and/or can’t afford stiff fines, then they need to make sure they’re not guilty of any violations. To me, it’s as simple as that. I don’t care if you hunt with dogs or you’re a still hunter or a bow hunter or a rifle hunter…play by the rules and you don’t have to worry about the consequences. Break a rule, pay the price. Period.

Warbler mentioned that. This isn't a private message.

Archer, let’s say that you shot a deer and he ran into a neighbor’s property and died. It offends him and his kids who have never seen an animal suffer. Would you think it’s reasonable to lose your hunting “privileges” over that?

Or better yet. If the deer you shoot runs out into a road and a car hits it where the driver dies on impact, do you think prison time is appropriate for you?

I have a problem with people riding around at night shooting deer out the window. So hey, let’s outlaw all rifle hunting for deer.

Ok Skinnee, if you are trying to get me to say the State Constitution says we have the “right to hunt” then clearly you are right because it is in black and white. However, in the context of your position, what you are really trying to do is equate the “right to hunt” to something like the “right to remain silent.” The two are NOT the same. One is purchased while the other is delineated to all citizens…get this, for free and just for being a citizen. The “right to hunt” is only a so called “right” if you purchase individual privileges from the state in order to be able to lawfully conduct or participate in a specific hunting action, which makes it NOT a real “right” in the context of your argument or in the first place. All it really does is provide a pathway to let people hunt and for the state to tax us for individual privileges under the “right to hunt” in the form of a license. If you purchase a license, you have the “right” to hunt, but if you did NOT purchase a license, you do NOT have the “right” to hunt. Again…making it not a right at all. But Yes, Skinnee, in its simplest thoughtless form, you have the “right” to hunt; however, it’s not even remotely close to real rights. The two are not the same, nor do they have the same meaning. Now, if you are not trying to put the two “rights” in the same boat as I explained, then you simply are not applying any critical thinking or not presenting what you are really trying to say. Instead, you are playing a gotchacovered tactic from the political forum. Great guy, BTW. Helped me out big time with boat insurance.

This whole right/privilege sideshow is such red herring. Your “right” to drive deer with dogs ends at my property line.

It's not a red herring... It is a digression... A digression is an unintentional consequence of getting off topic for a brief period of time. A red herring is a mechanism used to lead readers to a false conclusion.

No, a red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important issue. That’s what the right/privilege sideshow is doing. It really has little if anything to do with whether doggers should be allowed to do what they’re currently doing…but you already knew that. You just can’t argue heads-up on this issue b/c you have no good answers.

I already asked you to clarify your question. If you don't clarify it, I still don't understand. I would like to answer your question, but you haven't asked one that I understand yet. All I know is you have an "injun question"...

Here it is again below. There’s nothing to clarify. Read the scenario and then answer the question posed at the end:

As to the “invasion of privacy” angle, you’re still not getting my point. Let’s try this: here’s a scenario (I could come up with a hundred of these, both involving hunting on my land or not):

I’m down at my pond. Got my wife, my kids, my dog. We’re cooking out. Enjoying the afternoon. The kids are throwing the ball in the pond for the dog to retrieve. Then I hear it—those f’ing deer hounds yap, yap, yapping away. They’re clearly on my property and getting closer. After chasing a deer around my “back forty” for a while, they lose the trail and come meandering up to us at the pond. My lab goes to check them out and starts tangling with a couple of them so as I’m dealing with that (after all, they’re invading his territory), another one of the bastards steals some food off my tailgate. Being a nice guy, and especially since my wife and kids are there, I don’t blow them all to hell. In fact, maybe even I suspend my family activity, round up as many of the mutts as I can, and take them down the road to a dogpen. Even leave them some water.

1) You could always look up the definition. Nobody is keeping you from doing that. 2) I don't know why you are accusing me of not engaging in a heads up argument. That too would also be false since I have addressed your points. While you are looking up the definition to "Red Herring", you can also go back to page 6 and see that it was Skeeter who basically corrected me on "rights" vs "privileges". My original point was that your ideas of fines of 5k per dog, jail time and loss of hunting (insert whatever you like here) a

Which has nothing at all to do with this topic, which is a change of management laws to 8 deer a season and $15 in permits. WTF?

So now those who are defending property rights are changing the world…I see. Just b/c you choose to have your rights trampled upon doesn’t mean I should. I’m not belittling anyone, unless you’re a degenerate redneck rogue dogger POS, in which case you deserve to be belittled.
