You are right when I was a kid we used to have several barbeques and bench shows here in Ar , take up a Friday or Sat evening and raise money, if you had three to four a year it could raise a good deal of money without to much effort
DEREK DUPRE
Derek, I thought at one time I saw on here that you were part of a national hound hunters assoc. I agree that the local chapter thing is a good idea. If we can get all houndsmen involved it would be great. It is foxhounds now, it was bear and lion hounds before, it'll be coon or rabbit dogs next who knows. We do need to group together because divided we fall. Aaron and I were talking about Ted Nugent the other night about how he was saying no matter what kind of hunting you are involved in to support the kind the next guy is involved in because they (anti's) are coming after all of us.
P.S. Like Aaron said Ted is a little radical but that may be just what we need because the people that are killing our sport are more than a little radical.
Ted Nugent for President
Charlie "What this World Needs is a few more REDNECKS" Daniels for V.P.
I would also include a 50/50 raffle at each hunt, with proceeds going towards hunting associations.
I would also like to see all foxpens make it manditory for the $1 per dog and create a foxpen sign up page on this website showing which pens are in compliance.
Maybe at the end of the year have a special award for foxpen owners and/or hunting organizations who donated certain ammounts.
Randy some of this already being done but problem with the awards are some pens draw bigger numbers of dogs than others but I agree all that do the $1.00 per dog should be reconized.We need this from the north to the south and east to west all hunts and pens should jump on this.
I totally agree that some pens draw bigger crowds than others, thats why they should be recognized because they would be donating more.
its all for the same cause, no loser...I take that back, we all will be losers if we dont do something.
If a list was made on which pens are willing to comply to the $1 per dog, I believe they would draw more dogs to their hunts, just my 2 cents.
This is kind of a disapointment that I have not seen another hunt that would say they would join in with this effort except the ones Dupree said. Yall just sit back and thats what we all will be doing every night and weekend.
I think most if not all hunts will follow suit I can't see them not giving to a parent or national org that we form to protect our rights. I know we need to get busy and believe it or not people are already on it There is a lot of work to be done a lot of rules and regulations by laws etc to be written it will happen it just takes time and we are all wishing and wanting for something to be done now and it's only been two business days since this all took place Lets see where we are at by the end of next week
SHRA hunt raised over $300 dollars to the winnner of the 50/50 at Tar River today. The winner donated his portion to the fund. That made over $600 donated in less than 1 hour of work.
To all associations that are to be collecting a $1.00 per dog or are going to give a donation please hold all money collected in your club or association bank account until an account for this can be set up. Hopefully someone will post on the messsage board all information yall will need, until then keep gathering cause we will need lots of money to keep this fight going and for the future. Thank you for all your support.
