Mike Rossi Plugged

[Lawdwaz]

The current issue of NYOutdoor News has a nice article on dove hunting (or lack of!) in New York State.  The lone voice for dove hunting here in NYS has been a gentleman named Fred Neff, until now.

 

Mike Rossi is leading a charge for a dove season here in NYS as seen on this web sites pages numerous times and was noted as such in the article.

 

Nice plug for Mike, Fred Neff and the future of dove hunting in New York State.

We need more dedicated people like Mike Rossi to help turn the tables for hunters in New York State

No kidding? My wife is going to get a kick out of this. Anyway, I hope it gives the dove initiative a boost!

Mike thanks for your efforts on our behalf.  I just read the article. 

[Dove Huntress]

I just read the article... It doesn't paint the correct picture...and it leaves me and others out...

 

The climate in 2014 regarding mourning dove hunting in New York is much more favorable than 5 years ago.

Does the author of the article know who you are and what you have done?

 

 

 

How about the others, drop some names for us to look for. 

 

Thanks for what you're doing, too.

Lawdwaz,

 

Dove Huntress's (main) point was that the article did not accurately represent the level of support for mourning dove hunting. Her (secondary) point was that it was also not true that Mike Rossi is the lone contributor to NY Dove Hunting.

 

And she is dead right about both of those points. As far as the writer knowing Dove Huntress, she is on face book. I don't know what better way to get a biography on a person beside linked in or face book unless they give you a resume, CV, or have a research publication record.

 

As for others, besides Dove Huntress and me; although a "cause" page on face book does not list subscribers as personal face book pages do, the profiles of people who post on the page are searchable. We also have had a number of people create videos for us, and have identified them numerous times. Some of the people who have signed our pending petition are also contributors.

 

Bottom line is: the article does not position our movement to promote it. What it is, is an attempt to create a perception of the situation according to how the author wants it to be perceived among the sporting community. In case it is not obvious, the article Dove Huntress posted just above, is actually a rebuttal to this article. The first draft was much stronger, but we toned it down. Be assured , we still have that draft and we are prepared to publish it if someone pushes back.

 

Every grammar/elementary school student is given reading assignments that require reading a story and then indicating to the teacher what he/she thinks is the "Main Idea" of the story. Ask yourself, after reading that article, what the main idea of the author was. Do you really believe that main idea is a promotion of a dove season in NY?
