Doug,

My quote that you used has nothing to do with money. It is time spent protecting our rights. When hound hunting came up on the ballet I took out two new reporters that did positive articles for our state. I wrote my letters. Educated the non hunters that came into my shop. When trapping came up I did alot of the similar things to try and educate. I held youth groups and educated all of my racer buds that don' t hunt, most don' t even have a clue what hunting is. Lots of the younger crowd have moved from the outdoors to the indoors of their cars. You lose the younger you lose your rights to hunt. It is just a matter of time. Ted is one of the few that can reach out in a large way to that crowd and bring them into our world. I have seen him do it a many of occasion. He was at our last company picnic and man can he take care of business. We all may not agree with everything everone does so do what you can when you can on your terms. You are after all the only person you see in the mirror everyday.
