Hey Audwin, thanks for this. I'm a lifelong hunter, but the more time I spend actually reflecting on the meaning and significance of hunting, the less aligned I find myself with organizations like the "U.S. Sportsmans Alliance." These groups seem to assume that all hunters share their values. On the other hand, some of the issues that these "Dirty Dozen" organizations take on actually align nicely the values of certain types of hunters. For example, Western backcountry hunters like myself (and, I would think, wilderness-minded conservationists generally) are definitely onboard with the Sierra Club's work to oppose road access on public land. And every time I hear a hunter or a pro-hunting lobbying group speak out against wolf reintroduction, it sounds like selfishness and fear. Real wilderness lovers -- which I would hope all hunters consider themselves -- appreciate biological diversity, and aren't afraid of a little competition at the top of the food chain. Hunting isn't supposed to be easy -- it's supposed to get us as close as possible to participating in nature as it was originally designed.

It may be time for a new, pro-hunting conservation group.

Audwin,

I don't know what set you off but your post is music to my ears. Character and conviction are slowly being replaced by victimization and nihilism. Political correctness has permitted minority rule where anyone who feels slighted can get their way. Definitely not what the creators of the Constitution had envisaged. Like you I will fall on my sword to protect in what I believe. Good on you!

Chris

Right on! This coming from a guy who still cuts his own lawn with a reel mower. I would say the same goes for the term "Organic". I also want to wish you and your family the best for the New Year. Look forward to following your adventures.

Regards,
Chris

Hold the line Derek. Two weeks back and I can't shake this overwhelming desire to return to the bush. My thoughts seemed crowded with the beauty and serenity of the Reserve. I have been infected with all that is Africa with the only cure being to return. Joel
