This story starts long ago. Once there walked on this land we call earth. All sorts of animals.There were great buffalo, many of them. They roamed over the land .. free...There was the great Bear, The Wolf, The owl, The eagle.. The deer and many more. Rabbits, squirrels... doves, sparrows.. Blue jays... all sorts of life. They live here and each doing what it needed to survive. Some Prey.. Some the hunter.. The great spirit put here one more animal. It was to watch over the land. To watch over all the animals. And for a while it did ok. But then something happened. A greed came about. And a new animal appeared.

It started to see the animals for more than just the beauty they brought to him. Or the food that helped him to live. Some tried to only take what was needed from the land. But a new animal had come. From far across the great waters. It saw only a source of money. It slaughtered the other animals in great numbers..Taking the skins and leaving the carcase to rot. It killed without remorse. It was shameless in how it killed.

Soon the keepers of the land started to rise up against this new animal. It tried to teach the new animals that what they did was wrong. It tried to show how what they did then would bring a coldness to the land. But this new animal just laughed and even killed the watchers the great spirit had put here. As hard as the watchers tried to stand against these animals. It was not to be. Many died trying to save what they were given as a gift. Given to take care of, and only to take what was needed from the land to live.

The slaughter turned to the watchers.. They were killed senselessly. The males and females... the offspring all were killed. For nothing.. They just were trying to do what they were put here to do. To live with the animals. Watch over them. Making sure that no one animal took undue advantage of another. Soon there were fewer watchers than the animals they were put here to care for. They had given up their lives freely to protect the animals and their families. Overwhelmed by the numbers of the new animals.

They were rounded up... placed on small pieces of land. Land that was stripped and barren from those that sought the greed and the watchers lands.. Some where put on lands covered with foul smelling waters. Only to become sick and die. Others imprisoned for their beliefs. They were called savages.. and many other names. But the great spirit knew that it was not true. Knew that the watchers had just done what they had been put on the lands to do. To protect the buffalo, the bear, the wolf, and all the others. To protect their own kind. And in doing so payed the price of almost extinction. Now on the land that they once wandered by the thousands. Their are even less of them, than the animals they so loved and cared for. Many of the animals that once walked over the land are now gone. Others are down to fewer than a handful. And along with them the watchers.

Its a sad story huh? That we had imprisoned and slaughtered and turned into drunks those that had taken care of this land. And did a better job than those who do it today. So i say to those that are left of the watchers..I AM SORRY.. We have spoiled what you tried to keep clean and free. And did so at the cost of your lives, and beliefs. At the cost of your lands.. Your heritage,Your lively hood. People say it is the hunters and fishermen that are doing this. I say they are wrong. We as hunters and fishermen are trying to preserve what is left of that which so many died for. You have to look at those of us that believe that we were put here to watch over the animals. Do not lump hunters and fishermen into that bunch that had slaughtered so many animals. They were not hunters. They were not fishermen. They were the savages that ravished this land so long ago and still are today. They are called by another name.. Criminals.. The scum that choose to be greedy. The spoilers of a land that is rich in so much. I hunt and fish . But i do it under the law. Not at night while the deer feed. You dirt bags call yourself hunters... sportsman... you are nothing more than the foul smelling water that we imprisoned the Native American's on.

Don't take away the heritage of so many because of a handful of low life's. I know that right now there are people who are saying that we do not need to hunt, fish,, or yes even trap. They are wrong. They have never seen how nature handles to many of one animal or another. They have never heard a fox crying because it can't breath. Slowly suffocating, gasping because there has become to many of them. And nature is house cleaning. But doing it like those that slaughtered the animals long ago. Not just taking the weak, or the old. But ALL of them in the den. I bet that most did not know that it was hunters that started to get land set aside as national parks. That the very people who you accuse of murdering the animals. Are the ones paying to keep them safe. Fighting everyday to keep this land that we are guest on.. Clean from those that choose to spoil it. That's right.. We are guest here... the animals and Indian's were here first.. We stole it from them.. And have the nerve to say we own it. They own it. So those of you that say you are trying to save the animals and the lands from hunters and sportsmen... Come down off your high horse. You, in my eyes, are just as bad as those that slaughtered the animals that you say you are protecting. You live on stolen property... eat animal flesh.. Wear it on you... and contaminate it by driving a car to those rallies for animal rights. So ..." Don't judge.. Less ye be judged." .Don't say you are doing it for the good of all man. You do so for your own gain... It's called " GREED " welcome to the human race... Keepers of the animals. Wrong...

If i have offended anyone in what i say .. good.. Maybe it will make you think. Maybe it will let you see that we all have been on the side of the slaughters. That we condemned the people that once stood watch over these lands. THIS EARTH... The animals. All we do is take... and those that say they are here to protect the animals.. No your not... you continue to take also. We ravish the land.. kill more in the name of progress than all the hunters and fishermen and trappers in this country can ever do.
