I hunt several states in the northeast and can't believe the way hunter/sportsman argue. I'm a union carpenter and our motto is stand alone fight alone. Stand together and fight together. We are a minority both, the union and sportsman. We as sportsman are always on the defensive let change that and become the offense as it puts all of us back in controll. They have controll, because we let them. It's our money, our vote, and our heritage. Here in the Northeast it is the birth place of the revolution. All these sportsman organizations are good at keep our heritage but, are always waiting for the state to make the first move. Here in NJ we shouldn't try and fight for just one bear season. We should fight for a bear and dove season. Make the anti's fight more then one issue it spreads their resources thin. Divide and conquer. PA you should be doing the same. Along with NY, WV, ME ( by the way great job at sticking together and defeating the anti's on your bear hunts) If all of us would spend half as much time fighting the enemy(anti's) as we would spend sitting on our a$$, we would all be in better shape. If you noticed, I said "WE" not I, you, or them. A bundle of sticks is harder to break the just 1 twig.

I agree whole heartedly Muzzy, I left this forum for quite awhile after I replied to a post my very 1st time because (in my opinion) of the treatment I got from another member. And told myself I wouldn't return (there are other forums) because of some of the stuff I was reading from attacks on other members. We have to remember we are all in this together. We will always have disagreements, that's only natural, but we need to move ahead as one.
