Could you possibly imagine having Thanksgiving without any turkey meat? Well that's exactly what the animal groups want and what they're pushing for. Every year around this time the anti's start sending out letters to turkey farmers and grocery stores urging them to stop selling and killing turkeys. Saying it's cruel and unusual to kill and eat so many turkeys.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I can still remember how excited I would get when I was a kid and Thanksgiving rolled around. My family has had a tradition that's been going on for the last 50+ years. We all get together and play a football game in the morning before dinner and we call it the "Turkey Bowl", do you notice that it's not called the "Soy Bowl" or "Vegetarian Bowl". Eating meat is as natural to man as waking up everyday or the sun rising in the east.
Thanksgiving just wouldn't be Thanksgiving if we didn't consume some delicious turkey meat. As a matter of fact, if I get lucky next year and draw a turkey tag I'll be eating some wild turkey for my next turkey day.
Some of the best turkey I've ever had, was a wild turkey that was deep fried in peanut oil. Peanut oil gives turkey meat some of the flavor I've ever had.
I wish and hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving. We must do whatever we can to carry on our American traditions. We must fight to keep our freedoms and rights to carry on our traditions to future generations.
Take care and good hunting.

Great Job Sportsmen!
Recently is was announced that the EPA rejected the petition to ban all lead fishing tackle that was being pushed by the animal rights groups. This victory is a huge stepping stone in the right direction to protecting our rights. If sportsmen would've lost this fight, it would've spilled over making it easier to ban lead ammo which animal rights groups are pushing as well right now.
When I read the email that was sent to me stating that sportsmen had won this fight and that over 48,000 sportsmen voiced their opinions of disapproval. I nearly shouted in excitement, it's great to see so many sportsmen stand up and voice their opinions. This goes to show that sportsmen will not just sit back and let their rights get taken away by anti-hunting/fishing - animal rights groups. If they had it their way everyone would be vegetarians/vegans, driving electrical cars and eating soy steaks and soy hot dogs instead of a good ole prime rib beef steak.
This fight has nothing (ZERO) to do with lead fishing tackle or lead ammo. This is 100% about trying to take away our fishing and hunting rights. Animal rights groups do want us to hunt and fish any more and they'll keep pushing their agenda and beliefs onto to us as long as they're in business.
We at Hunters Against PETA want to say thank you and congratulate all those sportsmen who took a stand to fight this. It's only because of you that we were able to win this fight.
Thanks for you support.

Lead Fishing Tackle is Safe
Thanks to your help, on Thursday, November 4, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rejected the petition to ban lead in all fishing tackle.
The EPA and Members of Congress received more than 43,000 messages from anglers just like you opposing a federal ban on lead in fishing tackle. Your voice was heard and had a direct impact on the EPA’s decision.
Despite the good news, the fight is not over! There is still work to be done and we can’t do it without your help.
Donate now to help KeepAmericaFishing™ keep the EPA out of fishing.
Legislation recently introduced in Congress will ensure future efforts to ban lead in fishing tackle are based on scientific fact, not guess work or unproven claims. If this legislation fails to pass, the costs of sinkers, jigs and other fishing tackle will significantly increase.
Donate now to help KeepAmericaFishing advocate and preserve your right to fish on our public waters.
Your contribution will directly support KeepAmericaFishing’s efforts to keep our nation’s waters open, clean, and abundant with fish now and for generations to come.
Thank you for sharing your voice.
Here’s to tight lines!

Montana Letter that Supports the Delisting of Wolves
Monday, October 21, 2010
Dear Montana Congressional Delegation,
We write to express our support for H.R. 6028 sponsored by Congressman Denny Rehberg and Congressman Chet Edwards, to remove wolves from listing under the Endangered Species Act and return wolves to state management. We also support the Senate version of H.R. 6028, S. 3919, sponsored by Senators Hatch, Crapo, Risch, Barrasso and Enzi. We applaud the efforts which have resulted in obtaining broad based bi-partisan support for this important legislation.
The experimental reintroduction and explosive growth of wolf populations across the Northern Rockies and Upper Midwest, and in particular in our own state of Montana has become of great concern to the Montana livestock industry, wildlife organizations and sportsmen’s groups. Wolf populations reached delisting criteria as early as the 1970’s in Minnesota, 1993-1994 in Wisconsin and Michigan and 2002 in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. The decisions by both the Bush and Obama administrations to delist wolves have been repeatedly challenged in an ongoing effort to stop any wolf management in the lower 48 states and to undermine state management of its wildlife and grazing resources.
Notwithstanding the best efforts by the state of Montana and the explosion of wolf populations far beyond established delisting numbers, legal and political maneuvering has prevented the promised return of wolves to state wildlife management. Montana is not alone. The states of Idaho, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan are experiencing similar challenges. It has become clear that saturated wolf populations are now doing significant damage not only to wildlife populations in some of our most important wilderness areas, but also threatening the economic health of livestock producers across much of the Northern Rockies. We feel the future of the livestock industry and wildlife populations in Montana depend on the passage of these two important bills.
We join with our counterpart organizations in the states of Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Arizona and New Mexico in support of these bills. We strongly oppose any efforts that would: (1) delist only portions of the United States wolf population; (2) leave the door open to ongoing legal challenges by anti-grazing and anti-hunting groups that could further delay needed wolf control activities; or (3) that would undermine the authority of state fish and game agencies to manage wolves or other wildlife populations.
Given the importance of this legislation to the state of Montana, we urge each of you to dedicate whatever resources are needed to enact this legislation. Additionally, we ask you to apply the political capital with members of Congress across the country to obtain the remaining votes needed for passage of S. 3919 and H.R. 6028. While we understand that Congress has many important matters to address, no legislation is more important to the future of wildlife and livestock in Montana.
Thank you for your leadership on this important management issue.

Prop 109 in AZ Gets Voted "NO"
If you're a sportsmen living in Arizona then by now you've heard that sportsmen's rights took a big hit there yesterday. Anti-hunters won this round with 56% of the votes and sportsmen losing with 44% of the votes. There's been a lot of rumors flying around that a good majority of sportsmen in AZ were opposed to Prop 109 getting passed. If this is indeed true all we can say regarding this is that, those sportsmen who opposed Prop 109 were seriously misinformed either by the biased media or anti-hunting groups such as the HSUS.
Sportsmen's rights in AZ just knocked down.
Here's Prop 109 in detail. This information was pulled directly from ballotpedia.org:
A - "yes" vote shall have the effect of:
1. making hunting, fishing and harvesting wildlife a constitutional right,
2. giving the State Legislature exclusive authority to enact laws regulating these activities,
3. prohibiting laws that unreasonably restrict hunting, fishing and harvesting wildlife or the use of traditional means and methods, and
4. establishing hunting and fishing as a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife.
A - "no" vote shall have the effect of retaining the current laws regarding hunting, fishing and harvesting wildlife.
Anti-hunting groups like the HSUS don't want hunting and fishing to become constitutional rights. They know if that happens it will very difficult or impossible to ever make hunting or fishing illegal. If you're not aware of this already, anti-hunting groups such as the HSUS, PETA and The Defenders of Wildlife main goal is to STOP (make illegal) all hunting and fishing.
So if the HSUS was pushing for everyone to vote "no" and spent $250,000 campaigning for everyone to vote "no" then why would any hunter/sportsman in AZ vote "no" as well?
Again we have to assume it was misinformation.
We at Hunters Against PETA will never stop campaigning to get this decision overturned and help sportsmen in AZ get their rights back. Sportsmen in AZ have two years until we can put this back on the ballot and get their rights back and solidified. Hunting and fishing is a God given right. It should never be up to politicians or animal rights groups/anti-hunting groups to decide when and how we can hunt and fish.

All Sportsmen in America Need to Voice Their Opinions to the New Mexico Game Commision
It seems these days you can't read a headline or talk to someone without hearing news about animal rights groups trying to change the laws. Their main goal and purpose in life to get all animals throughout the whole world 100% protected. That means no eating any kind of meat, hunting, fishing, trapping and even milking cows for milk.
As of yesterday November 1st, 2010 trapping has been banned in New Mexico. This ban was of course fronted and pushed by animal rights groups as such is the case with any new law that protects animals. Behind every new animal protection law you can bet there's an animal rights group that thought it up and is pushing it to get passed.
Animal rights groups are reasoning that this new trapping ban has been established to protect the Mexican Gray Wolf which is now protected in AZ and NM.
Having done research on this particular issue I've come to the conclusion that this ban and like all animal rights groups motive's is an attempt to get them one step closer to their target goal which is to shut down all forms of hunting, trapping and fishing.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and that's what makes this country the best country in the world. However when animal rights groups spend millions of dollars and thousands of man hours towards getting our hunting and fishing rights taken away it's time to stand up and fight. Hunting, trapping and fishing are sports that we all love and something that none of us could even imagine being without.
I urge everyone who reads this to contact the New Mexico Game Commission and voice your opinion in disapproval. If they can take away our trapping rights in New Mexico then they can do it anywhere and everywhere.
Here are the people you need to contact at the New Mexico Game Commission to voice your disapproval of this ban:
