A proposed bill backed by anti-hunting advocates threatened to reshape the traditions and values long held by the state's rural communities. Among those who rose to defend them was William Sargent-a man who describes himself as \"50 years a dirt forester and never a day behind a desk.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat began as testimony to the Vermont House Committee on Environment and Energy soon sparked something more.
