nobody is arguing that guys with dogs see more birds and find more downed birds. thats a fact that no one is contesting.....

but i do have to wonder....did you consider yourslef reckless a few years back when you had no dog?

try to remember that some people rent a home and cant have dogs....others work to many hours and away from home meaning they cant have a dog. there are plenty of solid reasons why a hunter cant have a dog....but i cant think of any reasons to call him reckless or suggest he shouldnt hunt.....

If a hunter can only afford a .22 would it be reckless of him to take it moose hunting? There is always a line and there are always gray areas around that line.

Hunting étiquette , well theres lots of space so give it to one another....Also pick your empties guys, their lighter after you shoot em and no reason you cant take and dispose of them properly.

Yup and yup.

I pick up lots of shells every year. If you wouldn't throw your garbage out the window if your truck, why would you drop your empties on the ground? Sure, you lose some if shooting a pump or semi, but some are just dropped.

Then again, lots of douche bags in AB chucking their garbage out their window....
