From the Pope and Young site…Emerging Threat to Bowhunting (12/10/2004 4:10:40 PM) The merger between the Humane Society of the United States and the Funds for Animals was announced on November 22, 2004. The newly formed mega-animal rights organization revealed that bowhunting would be a priority target. Ten sportsmen's organizations, businesses and publications have 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 in the wake of the announced merger. Participants on the call included the Archery Trade Association, "Bowhunter" Magazine, Bowhunting.net, "Bowhunting World" Magazine, the Bowsite, the International Bowhunting Organization, National Bowhunter Education Foundation, National Field Archery Association, the Pope and Young Club and the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance. In the immediate future a plan will be designed and implemented to meet and defeat the threat to bowhunting. The organizations will be meeting in January to discuss the next steps. The Pope and Young Club will continue to monitor the situation and the needs of the bowhunting community to react, both proactively and defensively. www.pope-young.org/clubnews.asp |

Bow hunting is too important to game management for them to get it shut down , the loss of revenue alone would be unacceptable .

Bow hunting is too important to game management for them to get it shut down , the loss of revenue alone would be unacceptable . That is an extremely unfounded claim and rediculously nieve in todays world of half baked extremists and rogue judges. Bow hunting would be a fairly easy target, especially once they pull a little more low hanging fruit from the vine like preserves, houndsmen, crossbows and trappers. |
