I was talking to my brother about this and he said theres already a competitive hunting show on the mens channel or OLN it was called Cambles Hunting Challenge and it's on every week. I guess the guys actually shoot the deer and scores are kept then money rewarded. I'm getting this info second hand so maybe someone else knows more about it.

As of right now, the STOP WORLDHUNT NOW! email form has been used 683 times. I'm sure this is absolutely helping our fight to dismantle the WHA ...

Rob,
I think you guys need to do a top of the page ALERT- ALL MEMBERS READ THIS THREAD type of thing...I am not really excited by 683 out of 9000...I know not everyone comes to the site every day but in a week you would think a lot more than 683 would visit and see this going on..

Terry Green · « **Reply #425 on:** June 16, 2006, 08:58:00 AM »

Ray,

This thread is getting read....it has remained the most viewed topic since it started, and hasn't even come close to getting only half way down the page.

Let me see what we can do.

I am less than enthused by the response I received from Rick Story, Sr. Vice President & Secretary, at USSA:

Mike –

The so-called WHA has a long way to go before it’s a reality. For one thing, we’re not sure how it thinks it will circumvent state and federal laws that tightly control the use of drugs commonly used to tranquilize deer or other large mammals.

I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it. I’m sure not.

I bet a bunch of folks, me included, have sent emails or made other efforts in different ways. So 683 out of 9000 is probably not an accurate statistic. I'd say it's pretty darn good. You should be proud!

Terry Green · « **Reply #428 on:** June 16, 2006, 09:06:00 AM »

Yeah John...it took us two days to get the email in working order...and many emailed during the initial call.

I agree Terry.

Here is Matthews info:
Matthews Inc

PO Box 367
Sparta WI 54656
Phone {608}269-2728

These guys are some MAJOR players in the compound scene.

vermonster13 · « **Reply #432 on:** June 16, 2006, 10:22:00 AM »

They already have stated that they won't sponsor the WHA Ron so we need to only send letters of support to Matthews.

Also all Michigan members, we need you to start contacting your local, state and federal representatives. We may need a law on the books to stop this now. The DNR has no official position on this kind of "hunting" so we need to give them one.

Ray Hammond · « **Reply #433 on:** June 16, 2006, 10:52:00 AM »

I see what you are saying, Rob and Terry. I myself didnt use the form, so of course I don't even show up in the 683 so that makes sense.

We probably have a couple thousand doing it. Sorry, wasn't thinking straight.

vermonster13 · « **Reply #434 on:** June 16, 2006, 10:57:00 AM »

If I get a letter written up for sending to these politicians and political groups, can a mod make it available to everyone?

We all need to contact our own DNRs, Senators and Congressman to bring some pressure to bear against Michigan. They are passing the buck around to much there right now and I must admit that I am a little nervous folks.

Emmons · « **Reply #436 on:** June 16, 2006, 11:27:00 AM »

Gentleman,

First I want to say thank you to everyone fighting this fight.

I contacted PSE today as I have so friends there. They are not involved in an form for or against at this point. We need to send the information to [email protected].

Hope this helps,

James

vermonster13 · « **Reply #437 on:** June 16, 2006, 11:29:00 AM »

Thanks James!

Everyone needs to pour it on to PSE! They are the largest of the compound bow manufacturers dollar wise.

Also I was just told that Ross archery will have no part of this and I am awaiting there official Release.

Terry Green · « **Reply #438 on:** June 16, 2006, 11:43:00 AM »

Vmonster......we can make a form email for any list you want....but only Rob can do that...get with him via email.

vermonster13 · « **Reply #439 on:** June 16, 2006, 11:48:00 AM »

Thanks Terry.

James that e-mail address is no good. Could you check it please and let me have any other you might have?
