I think I am with the rest on this one…I will have to wait and see what happens. It certainly sends mixed signals to say that they are supporting hunters, but take no stand on the 2nd amendment. It is also problematic to see that they are supporting candidates that could be detrimental to those rights.

I’m pretty much in the ambivalent category too. If they mean what they’re saying, this could be a nice opportunity. For now, I think I’ll just watch and see if their actions back up their words.

Hey Jeff, thanks for the links, and for your take on the issue.

I’m still really ambivalent here. While I believe firmly in what I wrote over on the Hog Blog, that it’s an opportunity for sportsmen to get involved and help define the future direction of the Sierra Club, there’s still definitely an uphill battle… especially when it comes to the political support of candidates who have not shown much respect for gun rights.

I’ve also been doing a lot of digging since this press release came in, rolling through old news clippings, press releases, and “action alerts” from the Sierra Club regarding hunting issues. There’s a very clear distinction I’ve found in all of this research between hunting as a “management tool” which the Club claims to support, and sport or “trophy” hunting, which they don’t… hence the Sierra Club’s consistent support of bans on hunting predators, even when the science showed no negative impact of sport hunting on these species. That’s a tough one to chew on, even for someone like me who doesn’t hunt predators.

Whatever the outcome of any decisions regarding Sierra Sportsmen or the Sierra Club, I do believe that it’s critical for hunters and fishermen to get actively involved in conservation and environmental organizations…even if it means breaking lockstep with the NRA and other conservative organizations.

Great post Jeff. Years ago, I began to notice that Field & Stream was quietly advocating for partnerships between sportsmen and environmentalists. I have always thought this was a good idea and that we, as hunters and anglers, should be the thoughtful ones and reach out to the Sierra Club types.

Still, I’m not sure if the Sierra Club’s statement has won me over. Management is a big part of hunting, but it’s also about food and fun. I’m also pretty sure I fish some places where the practice has not been proven to be a necessary management tool.

I’ll check out Phillip’s piece.

I won’t retype it again, but you can see my response to this issue over at the Hog Blog.

I definitely think it that it is a promising move by Sierra Club, but I am still skeptical at best.

Great post though Jeff. Very informative.
