John....

When I hunt in another country - or with other people in my own - I hunt as my hosts prefer. That is called being a good guest.

It has nothing to do with my position on this subject, which is far more flexible than those who have been annoying me lately.

Stalking is fine.
Stalking with a dog is fine.
Hounds are fine.
Shooting at long range is fine.
Shooting from a tree stand is fine.
Shooting over bait is fine.
Denning is fine.
Trapping us fine.

Shooting in a pen is "fine" as long as the shooter does not pretend that it was otherwise and it is not against the local laws. It is just no different from buying a sheep and killing it for the meat and skin.

As for a sense of humour. It's fine as long as it cuts both ways. One of the modern plagues is selective tolerance.
