Title: The Hunters Voice
Post by: BobinTN on August 15, 2008, 04:13:00 PM
Tradgangers;

A local USDA Forest Service recreation area has shortened its bowhunting season 12 days.  This change was made with no public input, no explanation and no scientific reasons for the change.  
As TN bowhunters this decision and the way it was made has alarmed us a little.
We have put together an on-line petition to gather signatures to let the USDA Forest Service know that their actions and decisions are not made in a vacuum and that we as citizens and users of the public land would like a voice in their decision making process.

The Tennessee Traditional Archery Society (TTAS) would like you to join us in signing the petition.  The petition can be found at the link below.

Thank you.  United we stand...

Bob Brundage
Secretary/Treasurer
TN Traditional Archery Society

I'm not from TN now but probably will be some day.  Are you looking for TN residents only or would you like the rest of us to sign as well?

Hey Gingivitiskahn,

We are looking for all hunters/bowhunters in the USA.  The USDA Forest Service is USA wide and the TTAS thinks other states should join in.  Plus many out-of-state hunters hunt in Land Between the Lakes. The recreation area that this involves.

Ive signed it, we MUST all unite together to stop this before it starts going all over the US with the same things happening in other states. I believe the good ol' USA is in peril enough
I dont know about you guys but I feel threatened our heritage and values could be out the door if the nominations in Nov go the wrong way

They forget who they work for.Around here the State Wildlife agency sets the seasons on National Forest lands especially on WMA's.
