Re: disappointed with hunter turn out and how we can change this problem.
Everyone, we need to get behind Tony and all of Florida friends... Tony has a good idea and this is a step in the right direction. Hate to see this happen.. As hunters we once were the majority, it was once a part of everyday living. Now, not so much so. We are infact the minority now. As the minority we need to stand together and help one another. What we may lack in numbers we gain in strength and passion for our sport.

Re: disappointed with hunter turn out and how we can change this problem.
Tony - You dont have to challenge me, when the North American Hunting Hound Alaince came out I went to work to get money for them The Mid South gave 1 dollar per dog and was just short of a 400 dollar donation I also pleaded with the SC FHA to donate and we did our secretary got with David Bailey and sent money.
I work a full time job and coach all kinds of ball year around and dont have the time to focas 100% of my time on this, I am pretty sure SC has done its part for getting money to the groups who are supposed to be helping combat this issue, I also spoke with Mike Carr and he is working with some pen owners to set up a meeting with the senator who in SC has went public against us, I am confident we will be able to work with that group and a sound solution for all parties will come out.
The Pen Owners are the ones who really need to step up and battle this as they have the most to lose, the hunters can run on the outside or pick up another hobby, the pen owners have a finacial stake in this and I believe they need to lead the cause.
In this economy we can not expect all the fox hunters to continue to give money they dont have. I spoke about this at length at a meeting last night common people are tapped out because they are hit from every direction to give money.
I will be more than happy to meet with any politians if the group feels some good will come out of it...But just rest assure I feel pretty confidant I have done my part on getting money to these associations to help support our rights to fox hunt.
