I am an avid hunter and fisherman. I am in no way trying to argue with you because I am educated enough to know it will do no good. I do have a question for you. Why dont you guys focus the energy you spend to ruin someone's hunt who is legal and focus that energy on the people that are hunting illegaly? Those are the people who are devastating to the animal population. The reason we have rules and regulations on hunting is so we dont completely wipe out a species. As for your death threats and all of that ignorance, those are probably the people who are poaching and hunting illegaly. If you were more about this type of thing then you would be surprised at the amount of support you would get from the hunting world. I can sit here and tell ya the good that hunting does and then you can reply and tell me the bad that it does and we can then argue and tell each other that we are retarded and get absolutely nothing accomplished. If you want to see the bad that no hunting does then try and take a picnic trip to Pipestem State Park in southern West Virginia. The deer are so overpopulated that you cant leave any type of food out unsupervised because the deer will eat it. They are very underweight and are all over the place. The speed limit through this place is either 15 or 20 mph and the deer are still a huge driving hazard. They constantly carry disease which to me is God's way of hunting. I prefer my method over the method of the animal suffering from CWD or the like. As I said in the beginning, I am not trying to argue with you. I am just trying to give you a suggestion on maybe a better way to protect the animals that, believe it or not, we all, including hunters, love.

This may be one of the more cordial email we have received from someone with your hobby.

1st If you notice on the home page we link to operation game theft in each state and all fish and wildlife agencies. A few of our collective members have collected the rewards in various locations for turning over poachers.

2nd. we are not only focused on Deer hunting, we cover the entire area of sport hunting.

3rd. Nothing personal but we are done working with "hunters" or organizations that cater to them.

If it means anything then I guess I do like the fact that you fight the poachers. I am an avid fighter when it comes to poachers. I guess it all comes down to you have your morals and I have mine. I am also very pleased with the way you conducted your e-mail. I e-mailed something similar to PETA and got basically bashed which honestly made me dislike those guys and gals even more. Have a good day.

They have received more death threats from hunters than we have. But I think we are gaining.

To me death threats are one of the most ignorant things you can do. Those are the guys that gives us the "bubba" name and they dont even realize that all that does is prove the accusations that we are just killers.
