A few weeks ago, I posted up an invitation from Frank Price of the US Sportsman’s Alliance (USSA) to a couple of luncheons in CA.  At these luncheons, sportsmen from around the state can learn how to get involved and actively make a difference for all CA hunters and shooting enthusiasts.  I just received an update, from the organization.  detailing the March 8th meeting at Laguna Niguel.

Dear Fellow Sportsmen,

The U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance will present a luncheon on March 8 to help area sportsmen learn how they can protect their rights. 

The event will take place at the On Target Range, 27692 Camino Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, CA 92677 from 12:30 – 2:30 p.m.  Luncheon topics will include past successes, current activities and future issues of the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance.

In recent years, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance has been leading the way nationally in defended or increased bear hunting opportunities in eight states and the arctic and increased or protected dove hunting opportunities in 12 states.  The organization is paving the way for the next generation of hunters through its Trailblazer Adventure Program that has introduced more than 500,000 youth and their families to the outdoors and the Families Afield program that is reducing barriers to hunting.

For over 30 years, the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance has been meeting and defeating groups that want to destroy our outdoor heritage. Your support becomes more important with every passing day.

Contact Frank Price, Field Services Director of U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance, with any questions.  This week is your last chance to RSVP to come to the luncheon!  To RSVP call me at (614) 888-4868 ext. 202 or email me at fprice@ussportsmen.org before March 5 at 5 p.m.

Sincerely,

Frank Price

Field Services Director

It’s a great opportunity if you’re in the area and want to get involved… and I strongly encourage you to do exactly that!

And why get involved?

Because we’re constantly under attack… not just in CA, but all over the country.

Many thanks to Holly, NorCal Cazadora, for sending me several updates of late, particularly some from the Humane Society of the US (HSUS).  Of particular interest is this one, regarding an attempt to ban dove hunts in Minnesota. 

Around the country, anti-hunters have found that dove hunting seems to be an easy target.  There were recent efforts in California, Arizona, and in the northeast as well to ban dove hunts.  Every time the effort is shot down, someone ressurects it.  The antis have nothing but time, and they are doing their best to fight a war of attrition, wearing down the opposition (us!) in hopes that we’ll finally just give up the fight.  They’re sneaky, using sympathetic lawmakers to plug anti-hunting legislation into the tag end of other bills and programs.  And there is no one, except us and organizations like the USSA to stand between the antis and their goals. 

But organizations like the USSA cannot function on their own.  They need membership who are willing to do more than just throw some cash in the mail every year or so.  They need people to get out and get active, just as I’ve so often encouraged sportsmen to do.  We cannot rely on someone else to protect or save our hunting priviledges.  We absolutely have to do it for ourselves.
