Who represents Hunters, Fisherman, and Trappers?
The insane presidential election coverage has already started and it got me thinking. I was wondering who actually represents the sportsmen of our country. I know most of you are saying what the hell this guy is thinking, it is the Republicans surely!! Well if you really look at it there are several things that you need to hunt or fish. The obvious thing is game to hunt or fish. Of course every animal needs a place to live, eat, sleep and breed. Here in lies the big problem that sportsman should have with the Republican Party. Many hunters I know are getting disgusted with the bulldoze it and develop it mentality of the Republican Party. They fight any attempt to help the environment. We see a CRP field as good upland bird cover. They see it as a good place to have illegal’s build some low quality homes. Then they plant two twigs and call it a heavily wooded nature lot. Of course the yuppies who buy them tell you they have a bird feeder and they love nature so it all works out in the end. LOL!!! Republicans think that drilling in every good hunting and fishing spot around North America will solve our oil issues. They will say screw the caribou or no one goes way up in the mountains anyway. Remember Republican party line about ten years ago, the who gives a *** about endangered owls and the 100 year old trees campaign? They would really like to get there hands on the gulf which would be great because the Bill fish thrive in oil soaked water when some jack ass runs a ground a 1,000,000,000 gallon oil tanker. Of course by no means do I think that the Democrats have our back on very many issues. Most of the bastards are completely anti-hunting from the start. They would really like to expand your gun rights of course!!! LOL!!!!!
I am sure all of you think that Nancy Pelosi will be on your next deer hunting trip. The other thing is watch for the Dem’s they do this every year they go bird hunting one day and tell everyone that they are a life long hunter. Slick Willie did it so did Kerry. They do that because there adviser tells them they can’t shoot a deer and no one really cares about the birds anyway.
So to review the Republicans screw us on land and environment. Dems screw us on guns and hunting and trapping rights. As you can see we get F@#ked from both directions.
As sportsmen we need leaders who help the environment and habitat of our country. We also need pro-gun guys who set aside land for us to hunt on in the future.
We need to hold our elected representatives responsible for our outdoor needs. Look at there voting record and what they have said in the past. Don’t buy some bull *** line that Billary is a friend of the outdoorsman!!! So get involved and e-mail or call your elected people and let them know how you feel on an outdoor related topic. Trust me guys neither party is worth a *** unless you hold them responsible on the issues that we care about!!!!
