    NIGHTWALKER , TO BE HONEST ................. I BELIVE THERES NO NEED TO DEBATE THE RIGHTS AND WRONGS OF HUNTING [ WHATEVER THE METHOD ] AMONGST OURSELVES WE SHOULD TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT HUNTING AND COURSING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS , ........ DIFFERENT NEITHER RIGHT OR WRONG !!!!!!! THE FACT IS , JUDAS SEEMS TO ME THE CORRECT TERM FOR A FELLA THATS BASICALLY TURNING HIS BACK ON FELLOW SPORTSMEN , DEGRADING HIS WAY OF LIFE ...........THE PEOPLE YOU DESCRIBE ARE JUDASES CYMAG ............

    TO TRUE BIG FISH , SOME PEOPLE IMO ARE HYPOCRITES ........... THEY WILL USE ANY METHOD TO KILL RABBITS , YET COME OVER ALL RELIGIOUS WHEN HARES ARE MENTIONED , I WAS BROUGHT UP ON A DIET OF MOOCHING / POACHING........ THE NAME OF THE GAME WAS TO GET "GAME " IN ANY METHOD WHICH WOULDNT FIND US IN COURT ........ AND WOULD FIND US WITH FOOD OR SALEABLE GAME , OVER THE YEARS I MOVED AWAY FROM THIS TRADITIONAL HARVESTING , AND WENT INTO COURSING AS MY MAINSTY ........... YEP I TRAVELLED THE MILES , AND REALLY ENJOYED THEM " WILD " TIMES , HOWEVER OVER THE LAST GOOD FEW YEARS THE CALLING
