Re: Do your new pup owners register their pups ?

I like the kennel names on the dogs. 1. I can go to the NAVHDA websight and it is easy to find all the dogs from that one kennel. 2. You show respect to a breeder who has done the work to advance the breed. My dog, I picked up just last week had part of the name picked out, " Konza Vadasz Lucky". Th...

I dont want to judge your actions but you brought it up. If I did some thing like this I would admit my mistake and not do it again. We all make mistakes some own them some make excusses. Where you fit in shows your character. I dont know how this applies to you only you can answer that question.

Re: Ethics of killing a hen

What bothers me most is the fact that you killed the hen and then decided to follow the law and leave it lay. If you are going to break one law what stops a guy from just doing whatever he wants? The only way that I choose to hunt is follow the law, my boys go with me and look up to me as an example...
