What a Crock!! - READ THIS

[Butthead]

If you care about your hunting rights. write your state congressman a letter NOW!

This moron sits on the Wildlife Advisory Committee with the DNR. He was appointed by Glendenning. Fortunately he is outnumbered in most of the votes...however, WTF is a tree hugging anti-hunter doing on the board that determines our hunting seasons, bag limits, etc.

E. Joseph Lamp must be removed before he gains any traction and starts getting like-minded people on the board with him. I'm not a political guy, but this pi$$ed me off.

The Baltimore Sun printed this Commentary in Wednesday's 9/12/07 edition.

Stop Maryland's season of cruelty: fall bow hunting -- baltimoresun.com

[LILY]

This guy needs to be shot with a bow. I would love to see this idiot run around for a while.

This has to be a joke.

I will be hunting Sat. Morning if this cool fronts pushes in.

I use to live and hunt in MD........Bill Burton is a joke and this Lamp guy is a real AHOLE....All Maryland hunters should write the DNR and tell them to get rid of him before he gets rid of all deer hunting........Good Luck and Be Safe.........Mike

They gave his email. You MD hunters should overwhelm his email by sending countless emails on what you think about his opinion and you should also let your newspaper know what you think about printing his propoganda. Rest assured it's people like this that get some liberal environmental group or even a federal or state judge to side with them when they file suit arguing it is inhumane and then you could lose your right to bowhunt in MD as there are definately a lot of anti hunters there.

Remeber a few years ago when the feds were going to let MD start to shoot swans and one of the liberal environmental groups filed suit in federal court and some liberal federal judge put the kibosh on it and that was it.

The garbage about making the bow out to look so inhumane and that "the deer rarely drop in their tracks when shot" just shows his ignorance since few deer shot with a gun drop in their tracks and have to be tracked often enough, especially with a shotgun and probably more are wounded with guns then bows but then that's why we are at the top of the foodchain and deer aren't.

This guy's been on the Wildlife Advisory Council for several years now. He knows what he's doing, and knows what he's saying, and I'd be willing to bet he's trying to get people riled up, because I guarantee he's gotten at least a couple death threats, nasty threatening emails, emotional responses etc. that he can use against hunters. You'd better bet he's keeping every one of those responses and will use them against us any chance he gets. Don't play into this fools hands, he's fishing and you're all biting. I'd be willing to bet he's watching several websites just like this one looking for this type of emotional response.

He prints this same type of article just about the same time every year, and will likely follow it up with some of the letters that people write him, undoubtedly threatening his life, or bodily harm, just to show what a bunch of savages hunters are.

Do us all a favor and don't play into his hand. If you're going to send him a letter, use a level head, stick to the facts, and for God's sake, use spellcheck

[Bullbuster]

You'd be surprised at how many tree huggers sit on political seats. Many of them are put or should I say backed 100% by many anti groups. Its there way of getting another leg in the door for banning gun and hunting rights. What better way than in a position that makes the laws.

Exactly.

Calm down folks, it's mandated by law that one member of the Wildlife Advisory Committee be a representative of the animal rights type groups. He is outnumbered by representatives of other groups that have enough sense to listen to the science.

Attacking him personally will only give him what he wants. He writes these letters to the Sun every year. They publish every one he sends, but don't ever seem to publish any responses.

He always calls himself a non-hunter, but it's pretty clear he is very anti-hunting.

[Old-Grady]

It's time for our goverment to start doing thing's right and that doesn't include putting a anti on a governing board such as this. What it boils down to is he gets a free ticket along with a nice free pay check to come up with nothing but total BS. This type of goverment needs to change so the right kind of people are hired and are doing what it takes instead of having to listen to the BS from a guy like that.

Boy......I thought PA. was bad being led down the path of destruction by that nimrod Gary Alt who's sitting back laughing at the mess he created for PA. It's suprizing that the Sun would print that article....Anyway, Good Luck this year, Paul

Even former Sun outdoor sports columnist Bill Burton has stated that bow hunting does not support clean kills. He wrote in his Maryland Deer Hunting Guide, "By necessity, most bowmen have become adept at tracking cripples - they have no choice. Seldom do their deer drop in their tracks."

Yet another stupid statement by Bill Burton and another reason I hate his writings. I used to read his reports to "get my fix", now I just come here.

My broadheads punch a 1 1/2" hole in the lungs when I do my part and put the arrow where it belongs. They drop inside of 100yds. every time.

I've crippled and wounded deer with a rifle/shotgun because I didn't do my part, tracked them several hundred yards, never to be found. Guess they should ban all hunting?
