Dove hunting

An interesting article was posted today exposing the truth about those backing the recall of the dove hunt here in Michigan. While those FEW who oppose the hunt would have it seem that a majority of people in Michigan oppose the hunt it simply isn't true. The article points out that in order to get even close to the required number of signatures a large portion had to be collected by an agency. This initiative was sponsored by the fringe, national and international "animal rights" groups that have tried to infiltrate all edges of society.

In addition the groups opposing the dove hunt are furthering the illusion that most people in Michigan oppose the dove hunt. An Anti Group opposing the hunt has a group called Michigan sportsman against dove hunting listed under their links. A search for sportsman against dove hunting returns only the original page linked here with the specific reference. I have been unable to find any information on this group after some fairly rigorous searching I have come up with nothing. I wonder if they even exist. I will attempt to find out more. If anybody has an info on this "group" let me know. If they do exist they have allied themselves with the anti-hunters and may as well join PETA in my book. They are helping to limit our rights. The next season they go after maybe the one you hunt.

My thoughts on this are pretty solid. I don't hunt for doves currently. I would like to some time. Hopefully in Michigan. If you are a sportsman or sportswoman and you value your hobby and your rights you will join together with those that do hunt doves and help them overcome those who oppose our sport. We need to stick together or they will take away our hunting one species at a time. If they can ban hunting on the most prolific game animal in the world (the dove) it will be easy to justify stopping the hunt of every other species. If you still aren't sure think about how you would feel if your season was stopped by national and international organizations with a very misleading campaign.
