LSBA stance

Bill,

I'm not saying you're against it. Just drop it I'm done arguing. It's not worth my stress. I actually do respect your input as well as individuals like Dena's, Roscoe, Buff, Joey, Tracy, and everyone else EVEN GRIZZ dare I say it!

I'm done! Do what yall want! WE disagree we all made our points and no one is budging! All it has done has torn us apart again.

I know my place. It's helping out where I can with what I can. I plan on taking a couple of great youngsters this spring on a turkey hunt that have been struck by badluck. That is my place. To heck with the rest!

At the end of the day I respect you as well as everyone else. I just wished everything could have been handled a little better.

And IMO Travis you are in a very unique place. You have the unique opportunity to touch as many youth as you reasonably can. That's a great place to be and I wish you the best doing what you have always done.

Please don't believe for one minute that those that hope to preserve the Archery Only season aren't behind you in that endeavor, we are. And please don't believe that because we hope to preserve the Archery Only season that we are against getting youth involved because it just isn't so. Look forward to some reports from your involvement.

MC, I said on TBH we are allot alike but on different sides. I admit...I jerked your chain sometimes and you got to me a couple where I shot my emotions on the keyboard. I would like to get beyond that.

I think the point is there is no bad/good person behind the argument. I understand your position and you think that it will do no harm. Just remember 2 things..1) a compromise was given on bow poundage to involve youth and that was not even given a chance to work 2) Once done..it can't be undone. This was an idea...its being discussed..let the fight happen and the best argument win. BUT this is a BOW discussion group

IMHO, there is GREAT potential that this would HURT some kids....my SON agrees. He would not want to be put in a position where if he didn't want to go..Dad couldn't and/or dad would use the kid. And HE is talking about people he knows..

I'd be willing to bet you know or have met parents who may not react in an adult way. Those parents who are responsible have already involved thier kids...we are talking about parents who would rather hunt by themselves @ thanksgiving and Xmas than bring their kid along...


Heck..If I can live with Obama...
