Its not OUR kids that we need to be worried about, its THEIR kids, the non-hunters kids.

The fact is, this movieWILL turn some kids into anti-hunters, just as Bambi did.

Not just some kids mind you. SO maybe it has a profound impact on 20-30% of the kids that see it. Keep in mind that we're talking about 20-30% of millions of kids.

I'm not exactly the "everyone's out to get me" type. Generally I like to think that the general population is of a good heart and basically openminded. But if you don't think the AR are raging WAR on our way of life, your sticking your head in the sand. PETA put billboards up in hunting areas saying "Jesus was a vegeterian... don't hunt". They handed out bloody Colonel Sanders dolls holding a chicken in one hand and clever in another... AT AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. The HSUS has declared that their goal is to end hunting in every shape and form. They commithundreds of millionsof dollars to lobbying in state legislatures for bills such as to raise the minimum hunting age to prevent our sharing of our pastime with our children.

Tell me this isn't misinformation warfare.

An all out assault:

I don't know exactly what to do about any of it, but I do know that I'm not paranoid.

I agree 100% MA Jay, as far as non-hunters kids becoming antis because of this flick, that's a real stretch. Kids will forget about it as soon as the next kids movie comes out. Non-hunters kids will usually grow up to be non-hunters unless influenced by a person in their family that hunts or a family friend that hunts or something of that nature or an anti (worst case scenario). I have several friends at work that are non-hunters (not anti's they just don't really care) and the ones that I am close to, who' kids play with and know my kids, have always let me introduce their kids to hunting with me and my family if their children showed interest. I always try to take new people hunting, young and old, if they show interest and I trust them to be safe, reponsible, and willing to learn I take them. That is how I try to convert non-hunters. Over and out.
