LifeNRA Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Sportsmen Respond to New Threat to Bowhunting (Columbus) - Ten sportsmen’s organizations, businesses and publications launched the first steps in the defense of bowhunting against new attacks against the sport. The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance convened a conference call of national bowhunting interests in the wake of the announced merger of the Humane Society of the United States and the Fund for Animals. The newly formed mega-animal rights group declared bowhunting as a primary target. Participants were provided a report on the combined capabilities of the new animal rights organization. The groups agreed to design and implement a plan to meet and defeat the threat to bowhunting. “There was widespread understanding of the need to prepare,” said Rick Story, senior vice president of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance. “There was also widespread agreement that sportsmen have the capability to defeat this threat if we organize now.” Conference call participants included the Archery Trade Association, Bowhunting Magazine, Bowhunting.net, Bowhunting World Magazine, the Bowsite, the International Bowhunting Organization, National Bowhunter Education Foundation, National Field Archery Association, Pope and Young Club and the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance. The organizations will meet in January during the Archery Trade Association Show in Indianapolis, Indiana. The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance protects the rights of hunters, anglers and trappers in the courts, legislatures, at the ballot, in Congress and through public education programs.

Doc Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Re: Sportsmen Respond to New Threat to Bowhunting [ QUOTE ] they wont get their way, think about it, if they do by some chance get it, and then they try to kill out rifle hunting, imagine the deer population and how that would affect our farm lands and agriculture, not to mention all the car meets deer incidents along the highway. What are they gonna pay for the damages to all the cros, cars and whatever else, not hardly... [/ QUOTE ] Since this thread is about bowhunting, I will keep my reply on track. Bowhunting is not known as a super effective deer population control. The fact is that bow season could be done away with and replaced by a longer gun season and would control the population much more aggressively for all those special interest, anti deer organizations that you were referring to. As for any help from gun hunters, I wouldn't count on that portion of the hunting community for a lot of help. They have their hands full already, and not every one of them would necessarily mourn the loss of special bowhunting priviledges. Anyone who feels that bowhunting is a guaranteed activity, just isn't paying attention to what's going on around them. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
