What do you think he would say about your avatar? Do you think he would find it "disgusting" ?

Ask him... I would be curious to what he would have to say.  Are they anti hunting altogether or is it just those safari pictures that they don't like?  As most of you all know, there is probably nobody more anti-anti than myself but right now I see nothing that shows that Camping World is pro-anti hunting.

Bird I don't doubt your conviction against anti groups. But I think you're missing the point here. You tell me to ask him what he thinks of you're avatar. The point is had I showed it to him a week ago he would have said, "disgusting". But after all this backlash they are experiencing he would say "Camping World is neither for nor against hunting" He showed his true colors and now they are scrambling to cover them up!!

Camping World CEO, Lemonis, held a press conference to adress to concerns of the hunting community on March 21,2012

Here are a story and transcripts of the press conference with Camping World CEO, Lemonis. It will explain Uncle Teds backing of Camping World. Looks like we stood up and we heard Lima Charlie!! Mr. Lemonis may be going on his first hunt this spring to try and take a long beard!! I would set him up with a Mossy 835 and some super hot hand loads just to teach him a lesson! LOL. I will be watching very close!!

Lemonis' reaction was a lack  of understanding? a lack of education? He had more of an adverse reaction than he should have? His comments/reaction were born out of frustration of non communication?

Why has there been no public retraction? Why are pro hunting posts being deleted from their facebook page? Why is there still non factual anti hunting comments posted on their page (by them)?.

It seems to me the "apology" to hunters is nothing more than pandering especially in light of the anti hunting sentiments still expressed on their website, as well as the lack of a public retraction.

Post a public retraction of your statements on your website/page, remove the anti hunting sentiments from your website/page, and make a donation to a pro hunting organization. If those conditions are not met I will not make any purchases from your store(s) again.

If that is the company's stance my CW/GS membership will be terminated immediately.  These hunting issues are a "either you are with us or against us".  No wishy washy comments need be considered.  The libs are just giddy over the Limbaugh boycotts.  Time for them to see the shoe on the other foot.  You will find these people don't think much good about turkey hunting either. 

I respectfully disagree here.
In certain countries, what passes for "legal" would never be allowed in the US.

If you have enough money, you could probably legally kill any animal, regardless of how rare it is or what protected status it may have, in some countries. That doesn't make it any more right in my opinion. Im much more inclined to believe the US Fish and Wildlife Service or CITES with regard to what should be taken.

Does that make me wishy washy or anti-hunting? I certainly don't think so.
