BILL INTRODUCED TO BAN PURSUIT OF BEAR AND BOBCAT IN CA

[RIFLEMAN]

Hi All,

Well, the moment we've been preparing for has arrived yet again...the HSUS has sponsored legislation (Senate Bill 1221) that would ban the use of dogs for the pursuit of bear and bobcat in California.

I hope we can count on each and every one of you to stand shoulder to shoulder with CHC in this fight for our collective lives. Folks, the time to fight is NOW!!!

More information (and the timing and means of responding) will follow...

Hey Josh, My name is Scott Hillquist and I am the president of the Souther California Houndsmen Association. We met back in 2010 I believe at the the Fish and Game comission meeting in Ontario, CA. Please keep me informed to what is going on with this bill and let me know what I can do help you out. My email address is skkhillquist@yahoo.com. Please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks

Hi black and tans boy,

Thank you for your post. We'd greatly appreciate your assistance. I'll be posting information to the main thread regarding this matter (found at
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28911) as to who letters and phone calls should be directed to. Hound hunters and supporters of hound hunting are always welcome to be a member of CHC no matter where they call home...it's a mere $20 a year. We've already had several people from as far away as Michigan and North Carolina join our organization in response to this bill. More information can be found at http://www.californiahoundsmen.com.

Hi Scott,

Good hearing from you again. I hope you are doing well.

We are currently mustering all of the troops, and could surely use the efforts of your organization in this collective fight. We need as many people as possible who haven't yet joined CHC to do so in order to include them in the mailing list and share information about this effort that can't be broadcast over the World Wide Web.

Well, anyone outside of this state that wants to help, better become a member. Funding is one way to help.

Sorry I'm locking this topic..

Spamming the site, Even for a good Cause is not the answer, for many reasons.

#1 you have discussions going in 5-6 different places now and information is scattered and fractured. You need to get organized and have 1 source of infomation.

If you want or need more coverage Please let me know we can cross post but lock the topic or something so people can find the right topic to discuss etc.
I would run free advertisements for this..

All I'm saying is there are better ways than throwing 6 topics for people to try an understand what's going on.

Everyone should find the Largest Most responded to Topic and stick to that one, I'm going to lock up all the small ones.

Please let me know how I can help you spread the word in a more efficient and conductive manner.

Buddy
