RE: Dove Hunting Ban Failed in Michigan
I followed this for a long time and can shed some light on it. Everyone reading on this forum lost a little something, somewhere, sometime, somehow. What happened was HSUS dumped tons of money in a battle they felt they could buy/win. It all started w/ posted copies of ads HSUS ran for "paid Volunteers" [yeah, I know] to get 200,000 signatures on petitions to get it on the ballot. That was followed by numerous radio and TV ads due to their [HSUS] deep pockets.
Next on their agenda will be trapping and sooner or later archery hunting. By the time any one group realizes the're next, as a HSUS tatget it's almost too late. I'm not going to bore you w/ a list of their successes, just visit their web site and see what you are/will be dealing with.
