Opinion On New Hunters

[Smokey Bear]

We need as many new, but responsible hunters as we can get, that vote! It’s a no brainer. The anti’s are taking everything away.

The internet, social media and YouTube videos have to a great extent ruined hunting for me. I’ve always felt that hunting was a personal endeavor as we all hunt for our own reasons. I hunt so ultimately I take an animal’s life. But I don’t want to watch a video of an elk dying sometimes not very humanly. They will die. I just don’t want a video of their death throes as the life is leaving their body. Given the attacks by anti-hunters increasing each year I feel we as a group are nailing our own coffin by posting every damn thing on the internet. I just do not understand that mentality.

We need hunter recruitment, young, adult onset, women and minorities. Our strength and perhaps obligation is to educate them all to be good representatives for hunting and stewards of our wild places.
