Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

And the smalltown papers here are publishing them! Have you heard of CASH? See web site below. :eek:Can you say nut-jobs?

The letter I read went into detail about how the number of Minnesota deer hunters are declining so rapidly, that the sport will be extinct within the next three generations. And that our DNR should abolish hunting and instead focus on camping, hiking and wildlife watching. :eek:

I've said it before and I'll say it again, thank God for reason, vocal hunters and organizations - and the fact that hunting generates too much money for our Legislators to ever end it.

You are familiar with those in your neck of the woods, right, Rem Girl? We are only a few steps behind you if we don't watch ourselves.

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

I've never heard of them and don't hear much in my neck of the woods. I don't think so. People just get on with things here. As I say its a free country and i'll hunt if I like. It also helps to live in a semi rural community where it is more acceptable but of course there are a few radicals.

I take it your hunting laws are a bit more liberal than your neighbors the the south, then. I believe the British laws are quite strict and, in some cases, overbearing.

England and Scotland are different countries like Canada and the US so yes it is different here. You can hunt more in Scotland than you can in England and most of the English come up here to hunt because of that. I can hunt across my whole state and no one will do anything. I can also take as many deer as I want and other game animals. Some game are open season too.

There is no hunting permits or tags here so yes I suppose you could say we are "liberal"

There is alot more land and variety here, different terrain. The Highlands is probably the best place to hunt especially for red stag.

But you could never pay me to move to England ;)

Then all the sportsmen and women in the area should write letters too and see if they get published. I'm betting not.

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

Yep, they keep coming after us. So, go ahead guys, keep bashing and/or failing to support other hunting styles that you don't like. But then again, some folks are so selfish that the world can go to hell in the future as long as they get their big buck this year.

My religion teacher is an anti-hunter. I just dont bring it up to avoid confrontation, because even when that facts are on your side, they have the final say, and cmon, confirmation party=$$$

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

I cannot even fathom that from a religion teacher. [:'(] Talk about a hypocrite.

Rob, I'm not sure of the responses. None have been in my local paper, but lots of papers in the state apparently. You can be sure I'll write one if they do or maybe even if they don't. First, though, I'm working on a letter to the paper for all these protestors at the Republication National Convention who claimed their right to free speech was taken away when they were arrested for throwing pee and poop bombs at delegates and police. The gist of that one is you have no right to free speech if you try to take someone else's away from them. K, I'm done.

I challenge people when they want to spread anit hunting messages. Take the link in this post, it talks about 333 hunting related accidents from 2004-2005 with 41% being fatal. This is reason to stop hunting? According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, it is estimated that 130 people die yearly from vehicle collisions with deers. There are one and a half million deer/vehicle accidents per year. This results in nearly 30,000 injuries and over one billion dollars in health insurance claims. Deers also carry ticks which are transmitters of the deadly Lyme disease. Lyme disease infects around 13,000 people on yearly basis.

Now think if we abolished hunting, more deer on vehicle accidents, more spread of lyme diease and whatever else mother nature does to help thin the herd.
I can see if someone has hunted and developed a viewpoint against it, hunting is not for everyone. It is when one has never fired a gun, shot a bow or even gone fishing that they are a true biggot for campaigning against one of our strongest links to our forefathers.
Don't back down, stand for what you believe in or others will overpower you and take it away!

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

Hunting will never end, they are fighting a lost cause!!

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

Don't take that stance, you might wake up to find something taken away. They've stopped spring bear hunting in Ontario. I bet no one thought that would happen. Many places we are getting things back, like NJ when they realized bears are overpopulating and causing grief BUT, don't be naive and think it can't happen. Always stand willing to fight.

We are beginning to have an increasing bear and coyote population in Northern Virginia.

i emailed them and nicely asked why they feel that hunting is wrong and why they feel people should be able to disturb hunter doing something legal If i get a response i will post it

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

Sounds like some of the anti crap that goes on here in California...the land of anti-everything just about!

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
 

Every time i read something like this i just want to invite them to dinner and feed them some good spaghetti sauce or sausage and watch them enjoy it and them show them pics of me cleaning the deer the day before. It just really pisses me off!!!!![:@]

RE: Anti Group Writes Letters to Local Papers
