16. "RE: CA Gov Signs Anti-Hunting Law"
I live in a part of North Eastern Cali where hunting and fishing is more the rule instead of the exception. We have millions of acres of public property to hunt and over month long deer seasons. That said, one can not help but notice that each and every year, the masses who do not hunt are after and getting concessions passed that somehow chip away at what i have felt was my heritage.
The way i see it, each of these new restricting laws are just small steps toward the overall agenda to do away with hunting of any kind. In most cases, these adversaries are very intelligent, well funded, appropriately connected to the governing decision makers, and aware enough to not go too far at the present, just bide their time with small victories toward their eventual goal.
There has in the past, been much discussion in the Kali forum as to what exactly we as individuals, who are getting fed up with the status quot, can do to derail this ever charging freight train and as witnessed here in this thread, there is a lot of input pointing to the fact that hunting in this state is doomed as we once knew it regardless of what we want and no matter what we do.
I for one would love to become part of the fight, would welcome and heartily support a organization that might be able to curb this strong anti-hunting lobby and their righteous felt agenda. The trouble as i see it, nobody is stepping up to take charge. If and when that occurs, they can count me in.
In the mean time, you guys in other States had best be aware that this is coming to a State near you. This isn't a California thing. The longer that man gets away from our former pioneer way of living in existence, the more righteous and strong minded these yuppie do-gooders are going to get.

This post sums it up pretty darn well. As others have stated, hunter apathy and division is alive and well across the country. Over comming these two downfalls is exceedingly difficult, but is an endeavor we simply have to continue to pursue. So many of us are content to live in our own little hunting/outdoor world we fail to act on the big picture. What will it take to change this thinking pattern? I don't know, but I for one will continue to try to make a difference. Will you?
