RE: It's time we all join PETA
Well, I can see that some of you would rather just complain & sit back & do nothing, while some of us try & help our sport! If you don't want to help.. FINE! You just sit there & do nothing & watch what happens to OUR sport! PETA & other groups have one thing in mind, and that is to stop ALL forms of hunting & see to it that we lose our rights to keep & bare arms!
Something has to be done to help.. Moosehornhunter had the idea of coming up w/a group like H.E.T.A. (Hunters for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.) I think it's a very good idea! It would be a place for us (the hunters) to teach & inform the general (non-hunting) public about hunting & show them that WE are not just "senseless killers" & that we do care about the humane treatment of animals. It will take a LOT of work but, I truly think it can & should be done.
We need to STOP fighting each other & START helping each other & DO SOMETHING!!
Later, Phil B.

So, have you beat anybody up yet today? No? That's okay, the day is still young.
On a more serious note, PETA is a dangerous organization. Even though hunters and the general public recognize them for the nut job extremist that they are, they still use the courts successfully to challenge and endanger our rights to hunt. Any proposal to join them is ludicrous. I'm glad that Moose has backtracked on his earlier statements and I think the proposal for a organization like HETA is a good one. The real solution is for every state to pass right to hunt legislation and this is currently happening. Unfortunately there are many activist judges legislating from the bench and a solution has to be found for this problem. Activist judges that ignore the constitution and the will of the people have overstepped their boundries. IMHO, this is the real problem.
There are many organizations that promote safe and ethical hunting but I'm not aware of any that reach out to the public for the sole purpose of showing the good that hunters do without being offensive to nonhunters at the same time by way of talking about technigues, etc. on how to kill more animals. Properly structured, HETA could be a great way to educate the nonhunting public. That should be it's only focus, to educate the nonhunting public.
Moose, it's been fun but I'm gonna have to move on dude. The verbal jousting is starting to get a little creepy. Sort of like internet stalking or something. You take care of yourself, be cool and try to keep the body count down to one a day.

exactly bfnc2003,
you guys are crazy if you think you could ever take over---maybe you could, after many years and many millions of dollars spent--by that time everybody would be so old they would forget why they wanted to do it in the first place---I'm sure they have a board of directors that determines their backward path and its not a democrasy where everybody would get to vote or something---get real-----In my opinion this post should be deleted

Jip, Just may be on something. Maybe we should have a few selected members to spy on the opposition. It would be an undercover organization. Maybe we can form a special elite force called the "Dirty Dozen" and infratrant (sp?) the enemy, gather intelligence and report back.
