We beat it back for now but that would have been a huge mistake and the non huntes were looking forward to it, not because they wanted to pay but because they believed it would give them more power, which it would have. We are better off having them be guests of the sportsmen than paying participants because they and us are at cross purposes.

Thanks for your input.. That is something that perhaps we will need to keep in mind as we move ahead on this thing.. At the very least they should be made to pay for the removal of bears from our school yards and the like if they want to bring these issues on to us..

Also a developing story we have been watching and waiting for.. One of the anti's story tellers has been busted for ethically shooting grouse out of the window of a motor vehicle.. LOL How is that for ethics? He claims to have shot 40 bears ethicaly in 25 years.. Without baiting. dogs, or traping all of which would not have been possible.. lol Any how here is the link for what he has done.. lol another one bites the dust.. As the truth gets deeper on the antis to try and make some sort of proof..
