Default RE: BSE and American Hunters.

I read an article on this topic about a month ago in the Western Seducer. I also feel that we have to make some type of a move to speed this process up but I am not sure if this will help or not. One farmer may not allow American hunters on his land but his neighbor okays the request. In order to be affective i think 100% of the landowners would have to take a stand, which i do not think would happen. Another option is to ban the hunters completely, stop them right at the border. It may put some pressure on the government but would also kill our outfitting and tourism economy. I guess if we pissed off enough american hunters word would get back to the governement on our feelings but at what costs? However i already think they know how we feel. All the tests and information are in all we can really do is wait for them to stop cutting our throats. I really truely hope this back fires on them. Beef prices in the states are sky high and many consumers are shying away due to the high prices. If they keep up this system they will do it to themselves also.
