HCH....I used the no drinking rule at NCAA events and the absence of cigarette sponsorship at NASCAR(you say no advertising .....I won't argue) to prove a point. With ALL th erevenue generated by those sports (insert hunting revenues to correlate).....the special interest groups (read anti's...again, for correlation) STILL had the power to have alcohol sales at NCAA events banned and to have RJReynolds (world's largest tobacco leader) removed from NASCAR sponsorship.
Your acknowledgement, as if an answer, would simply lead to a future answer to someone else's question. You figure out the question and ponder fora while the "why's".
Answer: Because hunting is illegal
Alcohol and tobacco have nothing to do with hunting or the possibility of having hunting rights taken. Alcohol kills people in the form of drinking and driving. Tobacco...do I need to go there.
maybe we should change your name to hardheadedhunter(just a little joke)
but i am sure you can handle it because of all the attention that you have received fromt his topic. I don't know if you saw my post at the top of page 6 but it is all about perseption. It is about what the masses, the other 80% think. Compare the money bowhunting creates with the money that the other 80% control and that should give you an idea of who has the power. You should also think about all of the opposition you have received in this thread. If most of the bowhunting community doesn't agree with you then what do you think the antis would do. My whole point is that you may NOT loose the right to bowhunting but you are hendering the sport by portraiting it in a bad light to the general public.
Please show me where most of the bowhunting community doesn't agree with me. Please offer me proof where I am "hendering the sport by portraying it in a bad light."
