Default RE: A hunter's stance on the WHA

Ghemry, be careful. You'll be accused of "shouting and screaming."

Rather than continue watching our fellow board member campaign for a position as the spokesman for this organization, let's look at what others have to say...in no uncertain terms and without pandering to the outfit.

The WHA has been the subject of considerable discussion, criticism and condemnation from a wide cross-section of the outdoor community. From the National Shooting Sports Foundation to the Quality Deer Management Association, leaders have stepped forward to condemn the idea of Michigan entrepreneur and hunting enthusiast David Farbman as everything from "cruel" to "another huckster's bad idea"

“Nonhunters may scratch their heads over why a dead deer is better than a drugged deer”

Look at the perfect Catch 22 created by this wonderful “catch and release” idea which will apparently take place on a fenced 1000 “ranch.” If you think the idea of darting deer is ridiculous, PETA and others that do not know this sport will say you'd simply prefer them dead. Nice, real nice.

Hmmm. August 21st, eh? Glad to see this has been carefully thought through.

“There are too many objectionable issues associated with this program to be something the QDMA can support – even if it is substantially modified,” Murphy said. “Deer hunting is not a competitive sport, nor is it similar to bass fishing or any form of angling where competition can and does occur.”
Simply put, WHA’s program violates many elements of QDMA’s mission of ethical hunting, sound deer management and preservation of the deer-hunting heritage – values shared by the vast majority of deer hunters in North America.”
