Default RE: The Enemy Within......

First, I think you missed my point Bowbuilder. In no way am I saying support anything and everything. I am saying support hunting, mentor new hunters, and contribute to/do something to help hunting as a whole.I am notscared of anti's nor is fear ruling my world. I do believe inbeing prepared in advance and not waiting until you are fully attacked to think about organization. I know there are lots of groups,lobbyists, and organizations protectinghunting industries and hunters rights. I'm talking about more of a personal approach, doing something myself to help.License sales and hunter numbers are down and have been on a slow decline for some time,THIS DOES SCARE ME.If 1 out of 10 hunters could introduce andmentor a new hunter you could feasiblyturn thattrend of decline around in a matter of a few years. But how many do it?? I'm not talking aboutyour kids and stuff I consider taking mine a given. I'm talking about there areHunters over here....and Anti's over there..... and in the middle somewhere are some new hunters. Someone that didn't grow up around hunting orknow many hunters. You would be surprised how manysuch people there are that might just be a little intimidated to asksomeone to take them becausethey have never hunted. I can find somebody every year and two of my best hunting buds have only been hunting 3 and 5 years and these guys are in their 30's. I'm not trying to preach I just think there are important topics that often get overlooked. Second, I believe most will agree the WHA isn't hunting, bad comparison.
