Owlymolly .......
Home boys are treated just as you are. I have been known to put myself between Owl and cameras when baiting is taking place. Hopefully, some days, more communities will actually ban the practice as it is begining to happen in Quebec for example.
I though long and hard before getting involved in this dicussion as it always end the same way. Most of the people I have met (either in person or on line) who bait usually come accross as bullies and closed minded about the practice to begin with (when first confronted), then the odd one quickly turns into being an idiot. I will let you decide what category you fall into.
To be on topic about baiting, enough reasons for thinking twice about doing it have been presented here. Your reason for partaking in the practice is fulfilling a life long wish at any cost and with total disregard for subject and public acceptance. Your attitude make you feel strong and important. Again, congratulations on this achievement.
As for your other comments, I will not even go there as there are totally ridiculous and out of place. I will only classify them as you being drawn into an uncomfortable corner.
FYI: I do spend a fair amount of time photographing Owls.
Puting some sense into people like you is on my bucket list. I am still working on it and obviously it is not going very well. Will you please take the bait? please, please, so that I can cross it off.
