<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I'll let ya in on a little secret. You want to boycott these tactics by keeping the video and throwing the bill in the trash? Then your boycotting your hunting &quot;brethren&quot;! Alot of the money generated from those video sales goes back into our natural resources and also goes into other hunting oriented charitable organizations. Who are you boycotting??? The Drury brothers??? Yes , my latest video collection that I recieved this way just happens to be a Drury Outdoors video collection.
Antler Eater , lets talk about condemning bowhunting brethren!

WOW&lt; Now I am shocked.
So your saying that without paying for this video the DNR in state will fold up? That no handicapped kids will be able to hunt? That all the hunting videos productions will cease?

Or more likely, Jackie Bushman will have to find more sponsors to pay for his trip to Canada to shoot a 150 class buck and act as if it is just another buck. The others will not be able to take that trip to IL to stay on the stand and let all those 150 class bucks walk by them so they can shoot the 170 class buck the &quot;Guide&quot; told them was there and showed them on a video tape.

I dont know about all the companies listed in the above statements but I do know that Buckmasters did this to me. I have a busy enough life that I do not want or need to run to the Post Office to return something that I did not want nor ask for in the first place. If you choose to spend your time doing that, thats ok with me, just please do not expect me to feel the same way. I dont need any extra errands to run. Just because I like some of the writers in the Buckmasters Mag. does not mean I want to see Jackie hunting all across the country.

I think this is BS. If the companies are in bad shape, well I guess they could get more advertising in the Mags. (I dont see how they could fit anymore) Most of this is due to the rising costs of taking trophy deer on managed ranches and properties, just my opinion ofcourse, but why the sudden need to &quot;survive&quot;.

When the guy from Buckmasters showed up here he made the comment of all the deer supplied to Hunters for the Hungry. Hell, our club donates alot to that org. also,so do alot of hunters across the country, I personally dont beleive Jackie cares one bit, but as a man running a company, we all know that He is gonning need some write-offs.That goes for any company that makes a profit.

In closing, whith the development of shopping centers, Bass Pro Shops and Sporting good stores popping up all over the country and the ease of shopping via the net, If there is a product I want, well, I will pick up the phone, drive to the store,or turn on the computer and order it.

Hunting ; an act of love for nature guided by the strongest spiritual forces.
