That fact has already been established. Tell me something I don't know.

Animal Rights Groups to Announce Plan to Merge, Ban Bowhunting

Columbus (Nov. 19, 2004) - The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance (USSA) has learned that the nation’s principal anti-hunting organizations will announce a merger on Monday, November 22. In announcing the merger, the unified anti-hunting group will reveal its intention to target bowhunters for extinction.

The USSA, a national organization founded to protect the rights of sportsmen to hunt, fish and trap, has been following a rumor that the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) and the Fund for Animals are preparing to combine forces.

The HSUS, located in Washington, D.C., is the nation’s largest animal rights organization raising nearly $60 million in 2002. The Fund for Animals is the most vociferous anti-hunting organization and is headquartered in New York City. It raised $6.7 million in 2003.

Scripps Howard News Service reporter Lance Gay confirmed the merger announcement to USSA late Friday afternoon. Gay stated that sources within the groups confirmed that the new organization would seek to ban bowhunting as a first priority.
In response, USSA announced an emergency meeting of bowhunting organizations, businesses and publications to prepare to counter the attack. The Alliance created the Bowhunter Defense Coalition to defeat a series of attacks on bowhunters during the late 1980s.

“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,” said Rick Story, U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance senior vice president. “To win, we will need to energize the vast grassroots network of sportsmen across this country.”

Over the years, the Fund for Animals and HSUS have been the two most formidable organizations working to ban hunting. While the Fund for Animals has been openly hostile to hunters, HSUS has attempted to mask its intentions by raising funds using puppy calendars for promotions. Earlier this year, HSUS appointed former Fund for Animals official Wayne Pacelle to the position of CEO. Combined with the merger announcement, Pacelle’s appointment leaves little doubt about the agenda of the newly-merged organization. According to public filings the new organization will have combined assets of as much as $97 million to implement its anti-hunting agenda.

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.

Of course, this isn't just about bow hunting. This is about hunting in general. Pictures like that will do nothing to help improve the image of hunters. Can't you see that? Heck, I remember somebody just about got lynched on this board for posting a picture of a fish out of water, that he released after snapping the picture! But this is ok?

WH,

Are badgers a federally protected threatened species?

Just curious.

WH,

Just curious.

i think the issue is shooting them with field points.
is that ok with you?
Im fine with it myself.

 

[Washington Hunter]

Yes Buzz, they are.

 

[Washington Hunter]

BTW, Buzz, I just knew mentioning that fish out of water thread would bring you out of the woodwork.

So you honestly don't have a problem with people posting pictures such as these on the internet?

 

[BuzzH]

JB,

Try to follow along, here what WH said, "I remember somebody just about got lynched on this board for posting a picture of a fish out of water, that he released after snapping the picture!"

The issue he has here with IB is not even in the same league as some six-fingered banjo picker using a number 12 eagle claw baitholder barbed hooks with worms for federally protected bulltrout. To top it off, the federally protected fish in said pictures were covered in dirt, still had the hook buried in the guts, and were being held out of the water...by the gills.

See the difference?

I dont have a problem with shooting non-game species with field points.

 

[JB]

I dont have a problem with shooting non-game species with field points.

wow.
i just knew you were gonna say any animal at least deserves a quick humane death.

 

[BuzzH]

WH said, "So you honestly don't have a problem with people posting pictures such as these on the internet?"

Does this anwer your question? Elk I killed with a bow in Montana in about 1991.

 

[JB]

what unit was that from?

 

[noharleyyet]

what unit was that from?

....d-bag!

 

[BuzzH]

General tag in Montana...opening day near the Idaho border.

Had the bull at probably 5 yards but no shot. Finally moved off to about 15 and presented a better shot.

 

[Washington Hunter]

WH said, "So you honestly don't have a problem with people posting pictures such as these on the internet?"

Does this anwer your question?

No, it does not. That is totally different. First, there is only one arrow visible in that elk. Second, from a non-hunter's point of view, that elk is FOOD. The badger is not and was killed just for fun. Can't you see the difference? I really thought your mind was tuned in to this providing a positive image type of thing to the general public. Sure, this is a hunting board, that is for hunters, but how many people who aren't hunters come in here to see what we talk about? You were all worried about it when that picture of the fish out of water was posted, but not this? Unbelievable!

What's really funny is that if I had been the one to post that picture (the badger full of arrows,) you would have been the first to criticize it, I have no doubt about that.

 

[guppie9]

what unit was that from?

Really JB...thats pretty stupid....I can't believe you asked that....I mean, its a pretty useless question.









You should have asked for GPS coordinates!

 

[BuzzH]

WH,

Actually my first arrow is visible too, broken off from a quartering away shot.

Dont faint...but these arent FOOD.

The good days having 2 weeks off college for Christmas break.

 

[Washington Hunter]

Thanks for the vintage pictures. I like the hat.

Got any more?

 

[noharleyyet]

I gotta ask...what's the official name of that hat?

 

[BuzzH]

Its the "I'm tough enough to wear it...so quit asking dumb questions" model.

 

[Ridge Runner]

Cool looking pics Buzz. What are the sort of round pelts. I would guess beaver but don't see any tails. Pretty cool.
