Yes Fred, hunters can talk to the pubic and other hunters been going on for a very long time, another reason why it's time to face the reality that MOST want full inclusion.
As for the "burning bridge", that is your choice, but I can assure you this "talk" isn't going to help get ANY Positive changes to actually take place......MOST support the F&G Council and Div. you know this, and you folks can't change that because you simply didn't get your "way" , when you presented nothing of value to support your desires.........
NONE of that is "water under the bridge", do you folks honestly "think" you're the only ones with a memory? Plenty gun hunters remember ALL the negative things being spewed about them over this one tiny issue (that honestly had nothing to do with them, UNTIL your bunch tried so hard to make it about them)
NO that water won't be "under the bridge" (burning or not) for years from now, count on that, which is why one doesn't make enemies where they don't already exist, sometimes it's wise to consider good advice no matter who is giving it.....
The truth is, NJ Bow hunters are totally a vast minority and going out of their way to upset the vast Majority can never help them gain anything they want, JB always bitches about how bow hunters "are treated" (in his biased opinion) yet HE is always saying negative things about EVERYONE who doesn't "hunt his way", especially gun hunters (gunners according to him) and the Federation in particular.....
Fred for too long now the UBNJ has been making threats they can't Possibly back up, NOW you folks seek (again) to TRY to change the F&G Council.........(around here WE call that writing checks with your mouth your ass can't back up).....
YOU Folks don't have the numbers OR the support to make that happen, but you WILL piss off many who won't see things "your way"......and Full Crossbow Inclusion (the REAL reason) for trying to do so, won't gain you any more friends or support.......that's the truth Fred.
Once the gun hunters realize that at LEAST HALF the UBNJ Membership support full inclusion , the FACT that Joe Mills Asked for a chance to address the F&G Council but came totally unprepared to do so, and was chastised for that , NO one will back you folks, NOT their problem if YOUR President asks for time, is granted it , but didn't have the proffesionalism or manners to NOT Waste THIER TIME......
MOST of them won't care, especially when they learn that THEY can hunt the rut with crossBOWS........by supporting the majority already surveyed!!!
Time to "get over it" , and accept the FACT that most don't oppose this, and MANY NJ HUNTERS do in fact fully support it (including bow hunters and UBNJ Dues paying members)
