Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

WILL the WHA jump-start... and give life back to the hunting industry (manufactuers, apparel, weoponry, entertainment value)???

disagree or agree with the concept. WILL THE WHA MAKE HUNTING BIGGER?

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

STRONGLY DISAGREE!! There are already threads on this topic. BTW welcome to the forum. http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1563494 http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1598500

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Strongly Disagree!!!

However-

I would like to know exactly why the hunting industry needs a boost???
To sell more equipment?
To sell more DVDs?
To sell more licenses?

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Absolutely, 100% DISAGREE with it. After all I've read from them and their supporters, I can find no value to it unless you want to undermine everything bowhunting is and bowhunters have ever fought for.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

STRONGLY DISAGREE

Why is it that the only people around here that are in support of it only post on WHA threads and post absolutely nothing in threads relating to actual hunting skill????

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Il COyote- dont even give me that. Ive been a member of HuntingNet for 2 years. I have never been so compelled to write in a chat room before.... hearing about the WHA.

I have been on trophy hunts and if you want to talk hunting PM me!

Its unbelievable how quick one gets attacked for just bringing up an issue.. I havent even taken sides!

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

On your information page it shows your join date as 7/16/06.Should it have been 7/16/04?
The WHA in my opinion is the equivalent of the selling of the hunters soul to the devil.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Just because I dont post on internet chat rooms...(i dont know any hunters who do) Does not mean I have not logged onto this site for years...

Man, even in America you cant have an opinion without getting blasted by internet posters...

Like Bass Fishing is NOT the ultimate commercialization of fishing?! Hell, I watch it because it is entertaining... LOOK WHAT that did to the fishing industry/outfitters.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

My confusion I guess.You stated that you were a member and have been for two years.
Your membership or lack there of has no bearing on my feelings about the WHA.I still really,really,really don't like it!!!!

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Catch and release fishing is completely different from this new catch and release hunting.

Check out those threads that have already been started on the subject and you'll understand why.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Washington... thanks for the suggestion.. In fact I have read all the treads, as I am up to date on these issues..

What about the Rodeo? What about lassoing a cow and bringing it down.. animal rights there?

I think alot of you have it twisted and DONT really understand the issue... anyways.. I am all for a jump start in the hunting industry... I dont care what any of you guys say.. and no please dont accuse me of being a sponsor to the WHA.. since I know this is next...

Best

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

The Pro Bass Circuit is the best of the best. Just the same as the NBA, MLB, NASCAR, PGA, NFL... I doubt, I really doubt( I may be wrong), but the WHA will not include the best of the best deer hunters.

The past few weeks there have been several 'new' members come in and post for the first time only on WHA issues. There is you, that wannabe cheerleader chick, newtowha, and others.That has NEVER happened on another subject. I just get the feeling that there are some spooks among us, hopefully I am mistaken.---EDIT--APPARENTLY THIS IS NOT YOU---posted at same time.

For all the buzz this thing gets, nobody has successfully answered the questions that HAZCON7 has asked.

The "I thought this was America!" bit gets alittle old. We all know where we are.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Sounds like some personnal attacks over a simple question. In regards to Mathews question, I don't truely believe that the industry needs a boost, they seem to be doing fine as it is.I do however believe that this is a scheme aimed at making money, no matter how perverted it is.As a bowhunter, I amtotally against this whole WHA crap. Hunting for me is the total experience, not just the taking down of an animal.I like the previous posts' comparision to "selling your soul to the devil"!

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

What about the rodeo? Those cows aren't being shot with tranquelizers that could kill them. The people riding the bulls are in just as much danger of being hurt as the bulls they ride are.

Why do you feel so strongly that the hunting indrustry needs a boost? I'm fairly certain that it's doing just fine right now.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Totally disagree. Period.

Another plant? Joined strictly for WHA threads?

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

I wondered how long it would take the plants to get the WHA back on the topic board after the last one got locked from WHA supporters telling us to get laid..... This is no better.... If there's anything more disgusting than the WHA itself it's the WHA supporters who constantly throw the same (IMHO) vulgar excuses for supporting points in our faces....

The WHA will never find more than a sad few supporters on this forum. GET OVER IT, FARBMAN! before I start tracing IP addys and find out just how many multiple accounts have opened by the hand full of flunkies peddling Farbman's foul smelling fodder on our boards.


ANd I started to write something really mean...

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

good thoughts and good conversations. Hey, you are right..the hunting industry is doing just fine.

Please no personal attacks

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Eveyone who has seen my other posts knows I freely admit to being a newcomer to this world of hunting. I'll also admit, a few months ago I would have thought the WHA was a good idea- I mean, hunting without killing- Great! But even my dumb a__ has learned that hunting isn't about the kill, its about the admiration of the animal.
So the point being, don't get so upset over the WHA supporters- They don't mean to be offensive, they're just ignorant. Stay calm and explain, this will get your point across a lot more efficiently than yelling and screaming.

And for the poll, WHA will probably increase sales of equipment in the short term, but as the hobby hunters fade away, the boycott of WHA sponsors by the true hunters will result in lost revenue.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

if the WHA starts doing this for deer, what happens when they do it for any type of bird or any other game for that matter? terrible idea.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

I'm not attacking anyone... just stating my opinion of WHA plants.... If you're offended by my statements about WHA Plants, that says alot about your intentions here.

On second thought, I inadvertantly insinuated MathewsLX as a plant with the comment about plants starting new threads.... Didn't mean to get accusatory, just making my stance known.... Wasn't yelling either.

Drew, youre right on target with the sales statement.

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

New posters are talking about the WHA because it the most interesting topic to hit the hunting community ever.

I think there is a linkage there.

Some of the posters here crack me up. PM if you want to know my history/occupation/experience

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

Curious here - did you miss the poll at the top?

Steve

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

I think most folks have given thier opinion on this issue at this point and Ialso think it's getting old!IMO:D:D

RE: Agree or Disagree with the WHA
 

True that, there's a poll at the the top saying exactly the same thing, no need for another. Actually I added the poll, carry on in the thread pinned to the top.
