Now moving this to a conclusion we can ask they question ' Why do introduced fish have this protection and not game animals' ? put simply because fishers buy a licence and that is where our future must also be.

The "like" I stuck on your post was because I agree with your logic, not because I like the concept, we as hunters are probably never going to have an effective lobby group, but if hunters had a fee generating "hunting licence" then we would have value and thereby some measure of protection (maybe.....)

To all in general: find out who your local mp is, make it your mission to get in front of it and make sure it understands you will vote in whatever direction that keeps the stupid greenies from strangling us with their idiotic ideology, reminding it that you will do your dammdist to influence every member of your family, friends, work mates, and that are connected to a whole bunch of other people ( like on this forum for example ) that will do the same.

Roughly I worked out that I could get about 50 people to vote in one direction to obstruct the stupid green mob, imagine what a few thousand hunters could achieve with the right mindset.
