starplott was correct to a degree , but do NOT get cocky , i myself know first hand as to what they can do, i was born and raised in Forks Washington hunted dogs for better than half my life i am in my mid 40's now. antis put on t.v a bunch of lies and cut and pasted a few home videos that were seized from people caught poaching and selling bear gall bladders in oregon and california and new mexico . had zero to do with washington state , they found out how easy it was to make people hate and despise other people by plastering lies on t.v during prime time hours . then they went around to schools and college's gathering signatures to place this thing on a ballet to be voted on by the people . the ennitiative was I - 655 making claim that hunting with the use of dogs on, bear, bobcat, mountain lion and lynx was in humane along with baiting of bear and also was unsportsman like conduct . we as houndmen got together statewide did fund raisers to get money together to buy the brains of a lawyer to defend us as houndsmen in the court of law. the anti's ended up winning , we were shut down basicly over night , they won by using a scenario about using dynamite to catch fish. if you wish to stand against the anti's you first need to learn to stand together as a whole not devided, that means every single elk and deer hunter wether you use a bow,a gun or muzzle loader makes no differance, every hound man whether you hunt squirrel's,bears,bobcats,cougars,bears,coons or pigs. fisherman as well this also effects you, if you stand together as one you can win if you choose to stand devided you will fall and you will fall hard. you need to educate the people who do not know what we do, you need to take a kid hunting and fishing to educate them so they can also educate there friends and there own kids when they get the age to have them. it is easier to fight to keep the things you currently have instead of to lose them out of ignorance and try to gain them back . when washington state lost its right to use hounds to hunt bear and cats, the numbers were huge those animals were not in any way headed to a low percentage of getting placed on endangered species, matter of fact they was increasing faster than we could keep the numbers in check. reason is due to the timber companys having feeding programs so the bear would stay off the trees, more trees meant more mountain beaver which bobcats love to eat so they to increased in numbers, man i could go on for hours on this topic. bottom line is this, dont hate the player...hate the game...educate the ones that do NOT know what we do. think before you speak ... happy hunting to all and a good blessed day.....
YOU SPEAK ALOT OF TRUTH
