Ok, Guys,
November will quickly be upon us before we know it and it is important to not wait till the last moment! The dove referendum is the key to what the future will bring.......My question is....will allow the door to be shut on the HSUS/Anti's or are we going to let it swing wide open???? I made a donation today of $50 to the CWCMI to help carry on the fight that will take place this fall. My CHALLENGE to all of of you is to do the same.....don't matter the amount but for the fact that you donated. I know money is tight, it's tight for all of us! But look at this as an investment not as a cost, like preventative maintnence........AND remember, if we fail the cost of the "disease" will be much greater. I always look at hunting as a cheap Hobby compared to most......Hours spent vs. cost..........Where else can I be entertained for hours for literally pennies on the dollar??? Let's show the anti's that we do care and will invest in the sport/lifestyle that we love!!! Let's hear from those who want to see the traditions continue....................

This is the link to make a donation!!!

I talked to one of the guys at CWCMI a couple of weeks ago, he said that for us to defeat the anti's, we will need to make this grass roots. He said if just the hunters in the state voted......we would win hands down, but unfortunately, hunters are terrible for turning out for voting. The CWCMI can throw all the TV commercials out you want....it will most likely still not get it done.....we need to get out and eduacate the public, educated them on facts not emotions......the more we talk to those who don't understand, the more votes we can win! For those that want to step up and above a simple $$ donation.....please go to this link below and let them know, you are willing to give a hand however possisble, great or small.

Remember.....this is an organization that supports ALL hunting, fishing, farming, etc.......do not think that it's just a dove thing!
Let's show them that M-S cares!!!!!

For those that want to be creative.....I know Fiji can attest to a Dove hunt that he bid on last year to help support the CWCMI and it's battle.........We have all the means to do the same, a couple of guys offering a "hunt" for a donation would be all it would take to help the CWCMI towards it's finicial goals......anyone willing to step up....???

Dave

PS.....I think it would be really sweet to see some of the different dog guys step up since we have such a diverse array of dogs........Bears, coyotes, waterfowl, pheasants, grouse and woodock, Squirrel, and rabbits........boy, we could have one Heck of a fun time with all the different types to offer!

Great!! I am not sure either but maybe the moderators will help us out with that.............I would set up details such as how long you will take the out for, # of people, what is offered with the hunt.....such as cleaning, lunch, etc....... Maybe put an area that you would like to hunt or since squirrels are so plentiful......allow the donating hunters to provide the area if it is within a reaonsable travell distance for you..................Last year, it was started as an auction, hunt going to the highest bidder. PM me when you get some details and I will contact the moderator to get this posted.........!!! THanks English....you know it's for a good cause!!!!

Any rabbit houndsman out there willing to do the same????
