TEE_SHIRT FUNDRASER

[Buddyw]

OK, Let's talk about how to handle the Money from the tee-shirts.

Options I see.

1. Create a BigGameHoundsman account (club/group) with several members elected(voted) to control and direct the monies and send money as needed or voted on to other groups.

2. Just send it to a National group every x months such as USSA, or the Sporting dog colalition

3. Desperse to a couple smaller state groups which are fighting. (maybe you could choose from a list when you buy the shirts??..

buddy can you explain option one a little better i dont know if i had a long night last night but i ajm having a little bit of trouble understanding it.

Hmm.. problem with number 1 that I find is finding a few people who are willing to be in charge like that and trustworthy....

Problem I see with # 3 is that everyone is going to think their state is more important.. I actually think it is a great idea... But that is because I live in Oregon and we need all the help we can get

Are there websites for the places is # 2? I suppose I could try and look them up...

[Buddyw]

I fixed it... I think I was the one drinking too much..

[Melanie Hampton]

You know what's bad... I understood what you were talking about the first time.. I really need more sleep....

I think you may have a hard time justifying who's fight is more important. There are plenty of states doing battle like California, Maine, oregon, washington etc....

I say you go with a group like USSA because they seem to be involved in all the battles.

Here is the website for USSA

http://www.ussportsmen.org/

Now.... We would have to decided (if we could dictate) where this money goes.. All houndsmen issues or just hunting/sporting issues in general?

Ussa is spearheading the Sporting Dog Defense Coalition


definately a group worth joining if you can only join one. Check out the link and all of the bills they are watching for us......

I think the U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance is a very good choice.

--------


if u really wanted to get complicated
- u could ask them to suggest a prohound group when they buy a shirt






its more complicated--(more work )
but t mite be best solution


we dont want anybody to not buy a shirt becuse they think we are supporting wrong group , lol


i hear about laws pertaining to hounds from ussa-

u can go on their website and click on any state and search-

i mite not hear of them otherwise


when its antis vs houndsman they are on our side and its nationwide



thats the part im sure of



when its deer hunters vs houndsman they probably arent---we are outnumbered - they are going to support the majority of hunters


so im thinking it would be good idea to support ussa and some of the other state groups that would always be pro hound

this politics stuff really is tricky


i know how ya feel about deer hunters- me 2 ,


but ill take deer hunters over anti hunters anyday

-- chances are that everybody on this board has killed a deer -

but most of us dont consider ourselves deer hunters---

lol



technically , im a deer hunter-- id give up deer hunting the rest of my life if it meant i could get an extra week of training season for hounds
