Well, I meet with the lawyers on monday, but they say go ahead and get started so here I am:
The time has come that we need to band together as a national and international voice for hound hunting. So I am starting a national hound association.
To my mind it will represent the members of the hound hunting society, teaching both young and old, hunter and non hunter, the history of hounding, the conservation behind hounding, the ethics and traditions of hounding as a national pastime. Hounding is part and parcel of our Heritage as Americans.
Believe me, I am not a joiner, I hate joining things, really do, much less starting associations to have others join!
But we need to get organized better if we are going to be heard at the state and federal level.
So Monday I set up a non profit organization for the purposes of education, fellowship and conservation as relates to hound hunting.
Any one want to throw out a name for the group let's hear it. ANyone want to join? better still. Like the NRA, MADD, and the Miltary our strength will depend on numbers.
We'll have to go over the final figures but it looks like we can make a go of it on $60,000 a year to cover the national scene just to get our feet wet. I'm hoping for lots of volunteer officers, and board members to pull their end of the rope in their section of the country.
Target is 6,000 members at $10 a piece per year and well go from there.
This is your group folks, you have ideas or concerns let's hear them!
What started this?
Well, right now I have it on good authority from three senators that hound hunting will be outlawed in a number of western states and several eastern ones by the 2005-2006 season.
That barely gives us time to get organized.
I know we can get a phone call at 10PM about fresh tracks and have a hunt ready to go by 4 am sharp so I think if anyone can get this together it will be us.
I finally understood the saying if you aren't part of the solution you are part of the problem.
please email me through here and at home my email is [email protected] and my name is Bob Weber
