This publication has frequently joined the chorus of voices advising sportsmen of the need for a unified front and to make hunting and fishing more accessible to youngsters. The wisdom of these ideas has now been reinforced by Jim Beers, a Virginia sportsman who attended the 2001 Animal Rights Convention. During the convention, Beers recorded many outrageous statements made by the animal rightists, but those he heard about hunting were particularly telling in terms of how the antis plan to divide and conquer sportsman. Stress issues that divide hunters like canned hunts. Dog hunting and baiting also divide hunters, so use these topics.
Hunters are already divided.
Keep dividing them. Hunters' constitutional rights at the state level are funny. They are a placebo to hunters and just put control in state legislatures that we will soon control. Hunters are getting old. Pretty soon they will just disappear.
