You're right jjas, that was a silly post....almost as silly as calling the IBA an elitest organization.

I would like to take this opportunity to encourage anyone who has doubts about this deer reduction plan, to consider joining the IBA and/or IDHA. These organizations fight hard for sportsmen and need your support. I believe that the leadership of these organizations have a firm grasp of what makes for quality hunting in Indiana, and understands the steps needed for improvement.

In other words, those two groups DO NOT support the DNR or their plan of deer management. Strange that they did support Proposal I which would have even added more gun days than now, but less x-bow. So, we see what the important points are to you as well.

Knock off the crap with Woody. You'll never be the man that Woody is or stand for what's right as he has done over the years. Nobody here will allow you to poke fun at Woodrow or diminish his accomplishments.

Hey Matt,
Can you please give me the credentials of those who lead the groups you are promoting.
You said "I believe that the leadership of these organizations have a firm grasp of what makes for quality hunting in Indiana, and understands the steps needed for improvement."
So I would like to know..........
What are their education histories, what biology type degrees do they hold and what kind of professional experience do they have in managing a statewide deer herd.
The reason I want to know is because if I am going to pay them to be a member, I want to be sure they are qualified to lead the group.
If they are just a bunch of "good ole boys"...... then what makes them any better to lead those organizations than say.....me?
Thanks in advance !

Matt, are you a member of the IBA? what has the organization done recently besides trying to keep crossbows out of archery season? You're right jjas, that was a silly post....almost as silly as calling the IBA an elitest organization.

The IBA should be promoting the sport of BOW HUNTING-- PERIOD Not protesting what weapon I choose to hunt with.

I choose not to belong to IBA or IDHA. After you have been a member for awhile you will understand why I choose not to belong to either. (IMO a waste of one's hard earned income.)

Matt, are you a member of the IBA? what has the organization done recently besides trying to keep crossbows out of archery season? Yes, I am a member. I haven't been a member for very long, so I'm not real familar with IBA's accomplishments, but I recieved an e-mail from someone that is very involved in sporting organizations and works hard for the benefit of sportsmen. Here are his words: The IBA's mission is to promote bow hunting in a positive manner, to that end they annually promote and fund the following programs. 1. Archery in schools program, two complete archery in schools programs at a cost of 3,000.00 each. Genesis bows(14) arrows, targets, backstops, associated gear and training. Given free of charge just for the asking of a school corporation or a non profit youth group. 2. Sponsor two youths at the Kelly outdoor camp for kids along with volunteer staff for the camp. 3. Sends an under privileged youth and guardian to a week long archery camp in the C 4. Works with Indiana Chapter Big Brother/Big Sister as mentors for youth. 5. Sponsors and manages Indiana's International Bowhunter Safety course. 6. Contributes to Hunters Feeding the Hungry, money not just a dead deer. 7. Annual volunteer at the Wild Game cookout at the State Fair. 8. Volunteer group for the Hoosier Outdoor Experience. So as this site continues to ridicule the mission and direction of the IBA, its members continue in silence to promote archery in a positive manner. Much the way as the IWTF, IDHA, ISR, IWF and so many other organized stakeholder groups in Indiana. A few members of this site should look in the mirror and ask themselves what they have done lately, that is besides tapping on a keyboard.

A few members of this site should look in the mirror and ask themselves what they have done lately, that is besides tapping on a keyboard. Speaking of mirrors and tapping on key boards, lets see your impressive list of accomplishment that you have did. Crying about Xbows in early archery and trying to get the other hunters in our state to hunt under your and the IDA's conditions doesn't count. That's an impressive list you posted Matt it really makes the person look good in the eyes of the public. You should also listed the most important mission they are trying to accomplish and that's forcing our states deer hunters to manage the states deer herd the IDA way and to me that trumps all 8 listed above. I have always known Joe and the IDA were very anti crossbow and will do anything for large antlers, but was always under the impression that the ISR represented all sportsman in our state, not just those that chose a vertical bow to hunt with. Times sure have changed. Maybe they should change the name of the organization to the Indiana Bow Hunters Round Table
