Dismantling Hunting One Rule At A Time
June 9, 2007
If hunters believe in their sport enough, they have to stop being passive about the efforts of anti-hunting groups that want to end it all. It is no laughing matter and one that should be taken dead serious. These groups have millions of dollars behind them and employ some of the most ruthless, unscrupulous, immoral people this world has to offer to do the dirty work.
We know they hide behind animal rights in their effort to find a way to ban all forms of recreation that involves animals, whether wild or domestic. They have tried frontal attacks through obvious means like citizen initiatives seeking outright stoppages, to more behind the back approaches like small little rule changes causing us to believe that giving some here will ward them off. Not going to happen.
However they choose their attack method, make no mistake about it, the lies and fear mongering is aimed at one thing and one thing only – ending hunting.
If they have to do this by quietly inserting one new law or stripping away an existing one, they will do it. For proof of such a thing, Don Mulligan of FW Dailynews.com presents an article that addresses two issues in Indiana. Both of these deal with law changes. What needs to be noted and something that Mulligan points out is that these issues reach far beyond just Indiana.
I encourage readers to go and read his article and in so doing, take notice of the approach and the subtleties used by groups and individuals to chip away at our hunting heritage. This is not common only to Indiana. It is happening everywhere in America and we have to start now speaking out against this atrocity, this stripping of our culture and our heritage by those who think God gave them the right to do so.
These groups and individuals have gone unchecked for far too long and by us sitting back being silent for the most part, has given them a free ticket to ride. It’s time to call in the ticket and kick the free loaders off the train.

I hope more hunters hear the call to arms on this! The sad thing is most will only get pissed off and pay attention AFTER hunting is completely banned.
If we don’t stand up and fight for it, we don’t deserve it!
