Thoughts on boycotting hunting in CO and other states that support AWB

[butnewa]

Just an interesting thought and figured I would bring it up.

What is everyones thought on boycotting hunting in states, yes to include CO if needed, that support and/or pass an AWB?

Seems that would hit the state(s) where it hurts, especially if out of staters participated.

What organization(s) would be best to get something like this rolling?

That sounds great if you don't hunt to fill your freezer with meat.... BUT, for those of us that do can't afford not to hunt, I guess we'll be hunting boycott or not.

I almost hope for a boycott to keep more people out of the woods/plains increasing my opportunities.

I say boycott hunting in Colorado. Their prices are too high, too many hunters. This will make it easier for me to draw tags... I hunt to fill my freezer as well. I depend on the meat for a lot of the year. As I type, I have pronghorn burger browning up to make a 4 cheese lasagna hamburger helper.

And I thought the $ went to the DOW, and not the State, but I may be wrong, never looked.

A hunting boycott won't benefit anyone. Boycotting hunting hurts only those who depend on hunting for food and livelihood. I have several friends that are working odd jobs to feed their families because the guide business is down due to the economy. I won't intentionally hurt those who are on our side to try to prove a point to those that will just take money from somewhere else if they need it.

A boycott is intended to financially hurt those who make bad choices in some form, but boycotting hunting won't do that at all. AWBs won't reduce crime, hunting boycotts won't stop AWBs.

Good perspective. Don't boycott. You'll just take food off the tables of like-minded folks.

I dont see where this is going and I doubt you'll get much support. I wasnt able to hunt any last year so ill be hunting every season I can.

Let me give you a list of units to boycott. That will be much more efficient that boycotting the whole state!
