there is an attempt in progress to stop bow hunting they consider it a startibg point to stop all hunting

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

I don't see it happening. 0% chance, at least for the next 50 years.

The Humane Society of the United States and the Fund for Animals merged to become a mega anti-hunting organization on January 1, 2005. The organization, which will continue to be known as the Humane Society of the United States, will have over $95 million to spend on efforts to end outdoor sports, and it has specifically names bowhunting as a primary target.

The merger announcement serves as a wake up call to bowhunting groups to reunite to defeat what promises to be a powerful attack on our heritage from this monstrous anti-hunting group. To win, we will need to energize the vast grassroots network of sportsmen across this country.

Sounds like an urban legion to me.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

YAWN......Personally I wish they would ban all hunting...That way there'd be way less traffic of nimrods stompin through my honeyholes....

Now pull your shorts outta your crack and go do your homework...

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

after 2 years of no hunting they will be begin us to hunt after all the cars they go through from accidents and all the money the U.S. willl loose from crop damage. and when them bears take a stroll in the neighborhood and eat little jimmy.\

dont worry about it. and if they do ban it, it wont be for long

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

Just think if they get hunting banned of the billions of dollars us sportsman put into the econmy each year that is all of a sudden stopped.

Do you really think the government is going to let it pass and miss out on all that money.

How are they going to be able to afford the up keep on the national parks or improve wild life habbitat with out our contribution each year.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

I would bowhunt regardless they would have to just catch me.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

Follow the money. It will never happen unless they find a way to tack it on to real estate tax's. The sad part about it is people just might do it. It's had to believe that they gave away the rite to ever own your own home. Mind boggeling.

On a lighter note I met a guy who felt the same way about Texas as you do. I"ll have to take some time and see it some year.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

It's rediculous ,they just don't give up .

nubo

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

Nubo, you are correct they don't give up and thats why we as hunters can't give up and let our gard down either. I want my son and grandson's on down to be able to hunt and enjoy the outdoors as I have. I will stand up and take part, and fight for what is right, and so shoud everyone else here too.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

contact your reps and senators and tell them your opinion about peta and then do it again next week and the next start the fight now so our kids dont have to.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

They've been trying to get it banned for years lol

No worries, not going to happen anytime soon if at all.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

Bow hunting whitetails is my religion, so that would open up Sunday hunting for me...freedom of religion and all..........I bet I would have some dandy bucks in a few short years too...

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

We must never let our guard down. I am sure this will not happen anytime soon, but we must do everything we can to ensure it never happens. It all starts with us as sportsmen and women. Remember it is better to have a united group than a divided group. "UNITED WE STAND" we shall never fall!!!!!!!!!!:) God bless and happy hunting

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

I am sure this will happen. I am as sure of this as I am that George W will support it too. NOT likely. These tree huggers live inside of a big bag I think. Someday someone will have to pop this big bag and let all the air out. Do they think this will get passed with who is in office now?

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

They can have my bow when they pry it from my cold, dead hands!
...not a chance!

Do you know what really disturbs me about Peta people and animal rights activists? I hope I'm not the only one that notices this, but I believe they care more about animals than they do human beings. I don't think they give a thought to the troops in Iraq, the homeless in america, abused children and so on........they'll step right over a sick human to keep a cow from becoming a good steak. They value the life of an animal without a soul more than their own kind. They don't have the heart to try and help with the real problems in the world, so they make an issue out of something else just becaue they don't like it and they want to force their opinions and screwed up values and morals on us. Now don't get me wrong, I hate to see animals suffer, and I really hate people that mistreat them, but if you think you're stopping me from enjoying a steak or a chicken sandwhich or putting an arrow or bullet in a deer for some good jerky.........sorry bub, well actually I'm not sorry, but we're gonna have to fight.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

I never underestimate these radical idiots. We will face many challenges in the future in terms of our hunting rights and will get no help from our government that seems more interested in helping foreigners than they do their own people. All I can say is that if it ever happens then I'll be considered an outlaw as I'll never quit hunting...

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

If they do all us rednecks still will shoot what ever steps in front of us. That and there will be alot more bumper gaurd on truck cause people will runover our favorite game.
The real way to prevent this is to get the next generation out in the woods. We must get to the youth before them other a$$holes do cause if they do its over.

RE: Bow hunting banned is U.S.?!?!
 

Folks, The fur trappers use to say the same thing and look where their at. I hate to say it but if we're not careful it just may happen. With these two groups joining forces they have what 500, 1000 lawyers whos only mission is to stop your sport. They have both time and money, lots of money on their side and they will just slowly chip away till its gone. Look at the problems they have caused for some states to have dove hunts, bear hunts or pheasant hunts. They don't care about lost habitat, caring capacities,disease or car collisions. All they care about is that we don't hunt, period.

First PETA will be coming after the traditional bowhunters, convincing the public and courts that its a cruel, inaccurate, primative weapon. Then they'll go after the rest of the sport of bowhunting. Next will be small game hunting because that is truly recreational. Then all they need to do is divide and eliminate the different firearms groups one at a time.

Less then 10% of the nations population hunts so all peta has to do is convince the a portion of the non-hunting population that what we do is somehow wrong or cruel or that their way is better (ie birth control, ect.) and hunting is gone. The numbers are against us and what really gets me pi$$ed is that out of that 10% that hunts only about 3% vote or even bother to get involved at all. Majority of them just sit back and say it won't effect them.

Wirehair, you are absolutely right!!! And for those that think it can't happen you are in another world. We need to be proactive in our interests and join state and local associations who help to fight the fight. Or these morons will just chip away and chip away until they get what they want. We are a minority and there are alot of people out there who are on the fence as to which way they perceive something. Look at the Maine bear situation. Bear hunting was the target and the sportsman of Maine took it to the people to educate the benefits of bear hunting and they won this past fall. BUT it was not by much I think it was 53% to 47%. If you don't think these kooks will be back again for another shot at banning bear hunting you are kidding yourself.
