Got an email from BASC asking me to complete a BDS Survey on using deer urine. I don't, never have, never will. But I have completed the survey and under the "comments" section I posted this input:
"I don't use these (deer urine scents or scent devices) but see no reason to adopt a "holier than thou" attitude and press for them to be prohibited. What next? Banning pigeon decoying? Or the Larsen cage trap? Both after all use a "ruse" to deceive the target quarry. BDS is opening a can of worms that will only harm ALL forms of decoying by "dummy", by "sound" or by "scent"".
This is a "can of worms". What is the motive of BDS for this survey?
