Also lets not forget that they only got a slap on the hand when NM Game & Fish caught them contacting hunters on the ground from airplanes during season. They are a bad people and only after the almighty $. I hope that they quickly go away with the pressure that is being applied.

However, we as hunters and sportsman need to do something. - UNITE- We have done a fairly good job with putting a pince in there pocketbook so far. There is more to do. Contact there sponsers, if you can refer hunters that are looking for help in applications to your state some advise. Refer people to other reputable outfitters if they are wanting a outfitted hunt. There is a outfitter from AZ that is offering free outfitted hunts for this year if anyone booked with USO drops them and hunts with him.

At most game commision meetings and such we see large groups of people representing - outfitters and the anti's. More sportsman need to attend those meetings. NM is fighting the anti's now. They want to ban trapping. Last commision meeting they had a lot of people there protesting trapping. While only a few were there to stick up for it.

I know that this case with USO was court decided. However this comes to elected and appointed positions from elected officals. Maybe there is a need for a sportsman group that gets inputs from members and then presents them as a united front to game commisions and elected officals. Also they could post which officals that would stand behind us then come election day. Get out and vote for those who support us. Most of the groups I have seen cannot come up with a united front. Bowhunters vs rifle hunters vs hounds man and outfitters. Outfitters are a great tool that needs to be included. "As long as it is not USO" MDF,RMEF,NWTF and such are just conversation orginizations. NRA is just protecting gun ownership. SWF is close but there are some issues that I dont agree with. It seems that there main stance is creating less opportunities with more emphasis on trophy areas.

I want my children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren ect. to have the ability to hunt and enjoy God's creation.

My 2 cents
