Thats just sick

[adeeden]

I sent them an e-mail letting them know of how I feel about it. Vermonster thank you for bringing this to my attention.

[**DONOTDELETE**]

this is what I sent them:


This cartoon is sick, You are making fun of other hunter and that is not right. I am glad I'm  not one of your members and if I was I would quit.. You are just giving the anti's something to use against us ( all hunters ). I for one am very upset with it and pissed off. I hope you can look at yourselves in the mirror and be happy, all this and you have the nerve to call yourselves Texas Trophy hunters.... Bowie, Crockett, Travis are all turning over in their Graves seeing something like that...

Losthawg brought this to my attention so he deserves the credit. I just put it where it would do some good.

We've really stirred the pot on this over on the Texas Bowhunter site.

V13 pointed me over this way.  They've issued an apology and promise to print the apology in the next issue, but many of us feel the damage has been done and now they're trying to fast talk their way out of it.  At least that's how it appears to me.

TTHA is international btw and not just centered on Texas Trophies.  I think they're sistered to a trophy org in Alabama as well.

Thanks for any and all support.

ALL hunters need to support one another, not segregate by equipment choice.  Period, end of discussion.  No trad elite, no compound tech superiority, no crosshair coalition; HUNTERS.  We've all got our uniquities and should be respectful of such.

Plain and simple, this is bad press.  A slap in the face to ALL bowhunters.  The Lonestar Bowhunters Association has had other issues with them in the past and it appears to me that disapproval has been justified.

That is out rageous. Makes me ashamed I am from the Great state of Texas.  I sent them and email and I am going to call and tell them my displeasure. Thank you Tracy and David for deeping us informed of important news.

My email is sent. And to think i liked to watch there show.

[Al Dente]

Insulting, ignorant, tasteless, crude, degrading, alienating, factless...shall I go on?

[Matthew D]

Email sent... also but what they did was senseless.

[Osagetree]

Sent this statement via email;

To whom it may concern,
 
Your cartoon describing the bow hunter beginner kit is upsetting me and many other bow hunters, plus giving more ammunition to the anti-hunters. They will be after your rifle hunters too!
 
During this years rifle season, I saw many wounded deer caused by rifles and shotguns. The weapon of choice does not wound the animal, it is the careless unethical hunters that do not wait for an appropriate shot, because they are to anxious to harvest a DEER.
 
Please do not add more fuel to the anti-hunting fire! Pull this cartoon and send an apology to all bow hunters that you can.
 
Regards,
Joe Weed

Sounds like there is a little insecurity in the thunderstick camp over the large number of people leaving rifles and going to bows....? No  matter the reason it is not good for hunting.

[vermonster13]

I've been monitoring threads on this on other sites and even started another elsewhere myself. A few statements by bowhunters I have found unsettling. One in particular stating that the statistics support the cartoon, yet none are given. Al you may want to visit LW and set Charlie SA straight on the facts as I know you have the relevent data.

Yep, been following this also.

I signed into the LSBA organization and left a post supporting them on this issue, and my thoughts.  Also putting together a letter to send to them, not email, by snail mail.  They have really shot themselves in the foot with this.
