Open Season is a new cartoon opening at the end of September. It is about a forest full of animals who are battling a group of hunters. Maybe I'm just being over sensitive but I think they portray hunters in a bad light. They hunters are the worst looking group of stereotypical rednecks you can imagine. Evil monsters with guns wanting to kill everything they can. The hunters are monsters in the children's eyes and that image of hunters may stay with them for life. I will not support the movie and I will tell people I know to boycott it the same. We have worked to hard to be responsible, ethical, stewards of the land to let a movie spoof on us and change peoples opinions about hunting to a negative one. You can go to the movies site, watch the trailer for the movie and decide for yourself. www.sonypictures.com/movies/openseason/ If we don't stand up for the sport, Who will?

That movie trailer does seem to portray hunters as killers who want to shoot whatever they see, and a we both know, it is not like that. I will do the same as you, hardcorehunter.

Thanks for posting the question about the elusive sika. I too have been pursuing the little rascals for a couple of years with no luck. PLEASE HELP ME IN MY HUNT FOR THE SIKA!
THE DEER HUNTER (Hopefully SIKAS!)

My buddy Andy has killed several and his father has too... his dad killed a very nice buck a few years ago.. they said your best bet is to hunt over corn and have it placed close to the swampy areas. the Sika hang out in the swamp all day and night, coming out only to feed.... hopfully we will be able to coordinate a hunt with several of us this year and get some, from what i understand they are better eating that whitetail. i have only seen them while driving i hunted for them a couple times two years ago with no luck..

Well hopefully the sport will overcome the antis. As long as we pass on the tradition to our children or any child with the interest in the outdoors. Hunting will be apart of the AMERICAN way.

My 8 yr old son saw this movie with his grandparents over the weekend. I don't think he came away with a bad view of hunters, but then again he understands hunting. I remember my dad not wanting me to see or read Bambi for fear of the same thing, but it didn't affect me. I was entertainment, nothing more. I don't think the kids think to much about it.

Glad to hear that it didn't have an impact on his idea about hunting, but for some, I'm sure it will.

I am afraid of parents trying to use the movie to convince their young kids that hunters are bad.

Lets make our own cartoon with the hunter has super powers and can attract deer with his good looks. It will be called the Deer Hunter! Then every kid will want to be a hunter cause it will be cool. The evil PETA will be trying to ruin it for the super hero and the children will protest when they here the word PETA. As I do.
