Re: Who is bringing the Tomatoes?
So who is going to actually put Weaver on the spot? I guess throwing tomatoes will "really" show him how bad ass we are eh? I was there last year, and I can honestly say I was more disappointed in the two people leading the Fed than I have ever been of Weaver. The man at the helm now I have the utmost respect for. I dare any of you to meet him, sit down and talk to him, and claim otherwise. That aside, I feel the same as most about Mr. Weaver. He has shown that he can not be trusted, but, to ignore the politician influence on wildlife management would be down right stupid. So disengage from those that influence political decision by throwing tomatoes, or loudly display our anger in a respectful way to those that make a difference. Which method seems to be a bigger win for hunters? I know its hard to swallow, but inviting those that DO make a difference, whether we agree or not, is always beneficial. Bare minimum, we will walk away with an education and possibly the nail for Weavers coffin. "Mandela looked his enemy in the eye and held him close" Learn..... adapt..... separating ourselves from those that make influential decisions will only bury us further.... do NOT make Weaver a laughing stock at this convention, it will do us FAR more harm than good. Think how the general public would eat up that fodder put out by the media should that happen. "Bunch of rednecks heckle Weaver at BCWF convention"....that will be OUR nail in the coffin
There was a time I thought all parties that cared for wildlife and habitat conservation could find common ground. I was wrong. Adapt....
