I've been thinking of an idea.. want to run it by some of you folks.

I was thinking about making a shirt with the Top Ten Famous Houndsmen qoutes.. I would need to have people on this board give their best qoutes, and we would all vote the top ten qoutes.

The shirts would be sold and donate a large portion?? 25or 50% to a fund that helps fight for hunting rights?? Details would need to be worked out... between how much they cost me to make and how much effort I put into making them, and also where this board wants to see the $$ go.

This would need to be done by you guys through some kind of voting method..

I personally liked that thread, and would buy a shirt with some of those saying on it. but I don't want to just steal everyones ideas and try to make a buck either. I would want to see profit money go to a good cause, somewhere where everyone would benifit.

Let me hear your ideas.. Like it, dislike it, would or wouldn't participate. would or wouldn't buy it.

For kicks let's assume that we charged 15 bucks, and 1/2 of the money was put into a BiggameHoundsmen fund that we all decide how to spend that money. I don't want to get things too technical but it's just an idea I'm throwing out there..

Comments?? ??

What do you think?

I think it is a great idea. Someone who have to research and see who does the most for houndsmen rights. I know in Oregon you wouldn't want to donate to OHA... Does anyone belong to a local chapter of SCI? They are a huge group and if they could help push for houndsmen it would be good.

Maybe we should just start simple and make a poll on the best quotes..

Clever idea Buddy.. clever idea...

Have you checked to see how much the shirts would cost yet??

i have had a few shirts made with some of my pictures and the cheapest I could get that I found was around $12 a shirt. i'd research it a bit more, sounds like it could cost you money with $15 a shirt and 50% going to fund. didnt mean to try and shoot your Idea down might just want to raise the price a bit is all.

I like the idea. How about giving any proceeds to that group that Ed Owens runs up there. I'd buy a couple.

Good idea ya might even get people like black gold to help and put there logo on it also for advertizing might help with the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Sounds like a good idea, I would get one. I think that you might have a hard time picking a place for the money to go to. Were you thinking of a poll and just have some of the well know groups as choices?

good idea -

great idea .....front of shirt should have this web site logo on it then the back have the top 10 saying.

I've have access to shirts at wholesaler costs, and I have the Screens and equipment to make them myself. So I should be able to get them made for a very good price. These will probably not be full color designs. Good point If we want to get a multi-color design your right it will cost more.

If not I have other company's that I subcontract with and normally get a discounted price to have them made. And costco I think want something like $7.5 each for if we had enough to order more than 100.

I'm OK with charging more for the shirts, but the extra money should go to a good cause.

Two ways I was thinking about the money.. Either we create a nationwide club Here on this site, and appoint a Treasurer..and board.. etc.. to make desisions and spend money as needed or we send it to a club or clubs's that we agree on (easier)

something to Mull over on the weekend. I know I would wear a Top ten Hounds men qoute shirt as long as it wasn't something really cheezy..

good idea buddy. I think ladycathunters idea of having a poll on here to get the top ten would be the best. But the big question is where would all the proceeds go. A national hound rights group if there is one ?? or local or ?? that would be the big kicker.

excellent idea i like the idea and man i could get them ordered and give them out as xmas gifts. i would like to see it go to a national fund but that might be difficult so any group would be great maybe you could say that hey heres a donation from houndsman across the u.s. remember them when they might need help

I think the USSA Sporting Dog Defense Coalition, is doing the most for hound hunters in all the states. They should be considered.

I agree with rick

great idea! I would definatly buy one

sound real good Buddy. I am sorry i did not realize you were already set up for something like this. Sounds like ladycathunters poll Idea is what is in order now.
