Liberal Love Letters From Anti-Hunting Moonbats & Media Manipulated Stooges

We were recently interviewed by two Arizona news papers – The AZ East Valley Tribune and the Arizona Republic.  One story generated mostly positive calls and emails, while the other generated several death threats.   Yep, death threats.  The contrast is worth examining.

  

Miscellaneous Moonbat

 

What’s noteworthy here is not that the news stories are different – there will always be differences from reporter to reporter & editor to editor, and we realize “news” is written for the benefit of the paper and for profitable ad revenues.  What’s most interesting, and somewhat fascinating, is the way some people can be so easily manipulated to homicidal hostility by an article that’s had no independent review. 

When a reader takes the time to send me an email that reads: 

Comment: “I’d F$#&ing shoot you in the head if I saw you in person. You filthy scumbag murderer of non-human life.” 

It’s a safe bet this person has been, and is completely unaware they have been, manipulated.  Remember, this person, armed with nothing more than an unverified story from a newspaper, has just suggested that he/she would commit murder to avenge the death of an animal that was legally hunted, humanely killed, and then consumed as food and preserved as a trophy.  

There were several others emails & postcards like this.  Not one of these windbags had the courage to identify themselves.  These are the morons with “Keep Abortion Legal” and “Meat is Murder” bumper stickers juxtaposed on the back of their Honda hybrids.  

You wonder, are people manipulated by the media?  I’d say alarmingly so, but I’ve put the stories below for your review.  You be the judge. We want to know what you think, please take a moment to comment after you read this! (more…)

Predator Calling, Wildlife Callers, The ISE and Mark Healy in the News-AZ East Valley Tribune

Ed Taylor from the East Valley Tribune wrote a very fair depiction of predator calling and hunting in this weeks Trib.  His write-up also discussed Wildlife Callers LLC as a new/local business in Arizona, and featured the upcoming International Sportsman’s Expo Predator Calling Expert Panel being held Saturday February 27, at 1:30pm.

The article was a mix of local event, sports, outdoors, business, and new product reporting.  With all of the negative reporting on hunting in general, and the fact that many reporters would have become fixated on the look of my rifle, we appreciate Mr. Taylor’s objective reporting on our sport. 

You can thank him via email at etaylor@aztrib.com or by clicking on his name at the top of the article.

New Year’s Resolution – Introduce Kids & Adults to Predator Calling

Since a peak in the mid 1980’s, the number of hunting licenses sold in the United States has been on a decline.  Source: ESPN Outdoors.  Anti-hunting groups are relentless in their legislative attempts to take away our legal & ethical American pastime.  Our best defense is to make sure our voter ranks are filled up with new/ethical hunters every year.  Take a kid or neighbor predator calling and get them addicted too!

 

I’ve always had the hunting bug, but my father was not a hunter – not even a little bit.  He used to take me deer hunting and tell me to “go look for some over there” pointing to a mountain.  He’d nap in the truck and I’d wander around aimlessly.  Then, a local teacher and predator caller, Ken Brink, took me hunting in 1986.  Bang!!  Three coyotes on the first stand and I was forever hooked.  After a good day calling, there was never a string of bad days that could deter me from going again – I always knew my next good day was eventually coming. 

Here are a few predator callers who are passing the fun and addiction to people who can spread the word and keep the fire burnin’.

Ned and Liz Burris spent a cold November Sunday calling together, and Liz called in her first bobcat.  Liz could have been discouraged after 5 gray & rainy stands without seeing anything (she didn’t even see the coyote Ned shotgunned on the first stand until it was dead & down), but Ned kept her spirits up and it paid off.  What an outstanding day calling!

Arizona Man Strangles Bobcat!-Wow!!!!

 

Here’s a story of a Yavapai County, AZ. man that was attacked earlier this week by a rabid Bobcat, he used what he had to fend it off and kill it – his bare hands. We’ve never heard of this way of harvesting predators before. Interesting story!

PHOENIX — Bobcat attacks are unusual to begin with in Arizona, but this one is one folks will be talking about for years.

A Yavapai County man, attacked by a bobcat Monday afternoon, strangled the animal with his bare hands, according to officials from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. 

Read the rest of the story and view photos and video here.

 

Have a great weekend.  We’re going calling, hope to bring back a story of our own and we hope we don’t have to resort to hand-to-hand combat like Mr. Gruver.
