Not sure why you linked Save the giraffes petition or deer petition. Those are anti hunting petitions. They still allow Giraffe huntingright, so the antis must not have made a lot of headway and2000 signatures on a deer saving petition is far from a threat to deer hunting. But if the deer hunters in that area had started or did start a petition to protect their deer huntingit would have been good to know so other hunters could have supported them if possible.

We know they(antis) are there, kind of like gnats. Enough to really annoy you but not enough to force you into hiding or abandon your beliefs.
