What’s with the animosity towards “good ol’
boys” and “rednecks”? They are citizens, taxpayers, and put their
pants on just like everyone else. I found Hal Herring’s article
long, but he was trying to thoroughly cover a big subject. I
believe it is a fair representation of Sportsmen for Fish and
Wildlife.
SFW/SFH in Idaho are effective organizations.
They have been bold enough to take stands that might not have been
politically correct. That is what they believe, and that is what
they say. Nate Helm and company jumped into the political fray and
were burned a few times, but overall they represent the views of
many sportsmen. If they are not your cup of tea, find some other
group to support, but the endless sniping sportsmen do to each
other only weakens hunting, fishing and trapping.
