Kenny, that's great to talk about the past, and i don't disagree you did everything you said you did back then, i should thank you for your quote trading Forum because that Forum and its posters have help the UHF with Youth Hunt permits, so In a small way you are helping to promote hunting here in florida Today....
A few of those posters also have joined the UHF and are in the drawing for the Turkey and Hog hunts that I purchased to give away to two lucky members on december 20th.... but regardless of all this, My real point here is if Deer Hunters do not become more active in their sport, Politically, thru membership of several organization around florida, we are going to see a decline in available opportunities for Deer hunting! We have to be able to get into the Faces of those who are working against us, that takes dollars, not chatting on forums or creating website and forums, There are Many many things happening today that can affect deer hunters, Turkey Hunters, Duck Hunters are really holding many things deer hunters take for granted, The future of Hunting Summit this past year shed light on many things most hunters do not know or understand!
