(An editorial in the Fall Issue of the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Review Published by the Department of Lands and Ferests.) A Hunter Is A Hunter We are contnually amazed that hunters, both individuals as well as organizations of hun- ters, continue to allow them- selves to be maligned by the non-hunting public, the press and their fellow hunters when it comes to vandalism. Hunters are hunters and vandals are vandals, and seldom the twain shall meet. When a man is hunting he is not doing "wilful damage"; nor is he "defacing public or pri- vate property in a manner which spoils the appearance" or "is offensive to the common public". When he is hunting he is preoccupied with an inter- esting, healthful and exciting recreation, and his wilful pur- pose is to apply his knowledge, senses and abilities to it. A hunter is a hunter when afield. He is physically active covering the 'territory, climbing hills, stepping over logs and rocks, pushing through brush or hurdling fences. His eyes are on the cover, scanning the fencerow—or the horizon, wat- ching his direction — or look- ing for game food or shelter or watching for tracks, animal runways, signs of feeding or animal droppings. His ears are tuned in to hear the almost imperceptible sounds of his quarry; the squeaks, rustles of leaves, pawing, snorts, or crack- les that mean "heads up"! His nostrils do not twitch like his dog's, but he is al- ways aware of the aromas of the field and forest, and he often imbibes the sweet per- funie' of the out-of-doors. Throw a dog in for good mea- sure, and a hunter has all he can handle. No hunter is going to shoot at a sign, a wire insulator, a cow, a horse or car when he is that busy. Why waste a shot? Why startle the game? We don't say that there are no vandals who own guns. They own pencils, knives and cars too, and most can throw stones. Vandals are found in cities, towns and villages and on farms. They break windows, paint on signs, tear down pos- ters and write dirty wards on toilet house walls. In public parks, they like to deface signs on nature trails and hack up picnic benches or young tret2s. When a man with a gun shoots a cow, he isn't a hunter, he's a rustler, especially if he steals it, too. How many cows reported "killed by hunters" are really shot in retaliation for something the owner has done? Breaking down fences is blamed on hunters; some of the critics have never heard of rust or rotted-out posts. One also gels the impression that all hunters carry wire cutters to make fence-climbing easy for both man and dog. Conserva- tion officers check many thous- ands of hunters in a year, and we cannot substantiate this inapresion. Let us not make saints of the whole hunting fraternity, though. There are a few mali- cious, careless, thoughtless and rebellious hunters who do wil- ful damage to public and pri- vate property just the same as there are such people who nev- er owned a gun. Let us stop indicting "hunt- ers" by inference. Let us stop campaigns which tell hunters not to do damage. Such plead- ings are not heeded by the van- dalous few who they are aimed at, and they connect "hunters" with "vandals" in the public mind. Hunters themselves oft- en perpetuate this connection by joining in these pleading re- frains. Let's call a spade—a spade; a vandal- -a vandal; a rustler —a rustler, and a sign shooter —an immature person. A hunt- er is a hunter.
