Here is an email we received from Toby.
Toby is always on the front lines trying to protect our hunting rights and animals from extinction.
Thanks Toby…from all of us here at Hunters Against PETA
“David, Rodney & Steve;
I want to let you know that I truly enjoyed the opportunity to sit down and visit with the three of you in a very warm and friendly atmosphere today. It took only a couple of minutes to realize that we are all on the same page… and share the same concerns for the future of hunting.
I must admit, that when I left home and drove the two or so miles to your offices, my greatest fear was that you would tell me how far off base I am, and that I needed to get in touch with reality. Instead, I sat down and met with three other individual hunters who are as genuinely in tune to the hurdles that hunting faces as we head into the future – of which the wolf issue is only a part.
The anti-hunting environmental organizations are truly now our biggest threat. And as we discussed, it is imperative that all sportsmen based conservation organizations form a tight partnership to present a unified force to go face-to-face with these phony wildlife conservation facades. And to fully support these efforts will take an extremely strong participation by the entire shooting and hunting industry.
It’s no longer business as usual, we have some real battles ahead, and we need to build a collective force that has the might, and will, to win.
Without that unification, all who love and cherish hunting are doomed.
Some times, I feel my methods are too strong and a bit misdirected, but my heart is always where it should be. Hard times call for hard measures, and we are experiencing some of the hardest times sport hunting has ever had to endure. I, for one, will never give up the fight – and after meeting with you three, I feel that you and the RMEF will be right there on the front lines with me.
Environmental organizations such as the Defenders of Wildlife and the Center for Biological Diversity are now using the reintroduction of the gray wolf to weaken our forces and our will. I feel we must meet this challenge head on – in the the courts and in the field, to closely manage this pestilence which is now destroying our big game resources and the ability of ranchers to profitably help feed this nation.
In this time of economic crash, we need to eliminate idiotic federal programs that waste hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to destroy common sense rural lifestyles that took a hundred or more years to become ingrained within the Northern Rockies.
Likewise, we need to contain the damage wolves are doing to wildlife resources and the economy of hunting communities before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service destroys that same lifestyle and rich wildlife heritage in other regions of the country.
Following is an e-mail I received following our meeting today. It is from hunter, rancher and custom knife maker Rick Dunkerley, of Lincoln, MT.
This is the kind of wildlife destruction we must reverse, and the lifestyle we need to help Northern Rocky Mountain residents enjoy once again.
Again, thanks for a great meeting. I look forward to working closely with you as we face the challenges ahead.

My brother suggested I might like this website. He was totally right. This post truly made my day. You cann’t imagine just how much time I had spent for this information!
so what you people are saying is that gods creatures have no rights,even to just feed thier families(the wolf).but instead the hunters should get choice elk,deer,etc. so that they can have thier so called sport?all hunters want is to kill and make themselfs feel like a king!when in fact it is HUMANS that are the killers,murderers what have you.so you say that natural predators should not exist,just so you can do the killing,so that you can feed your egos.how selfish,and hypocratic of you,you all should be so proud of yourselfs as I am sure our GOD is of you!KUDOS,YOU FUCKING GREETY BASTARDS!
Debra,
Wolves and animals are not human. Hunters are pro human first that’s the big difference between us and you animal rights activists. We’re at the top of the food chain for a reason. It’s disturbing to see people compare animals to humans. They are our food and pets. We will continue hunting, eating and having animals as our pets. And we will definitely be taking care of the wolves that are ravaging the elk and deer in the Western States. When you say that wolves are “just trying to feed their families”, you should do a little more research on how many elk, deer, horses and other big game animals that wolves kill, leave for dead and don’t eat any of the meat.
Gee Ms. Oskins, you might have slightly more credibility if you could spell. It’s “God’s” not “gods”, unless you are using the pagan plural. It’s “themselves”, not “themselfs”. “Hypocratic” should be “hyppocratic” and is the word used to describe the oath a doctor takes, but as you used it, it should be “hypocritical”. (You can’t even spell the incorrect word in a correct manner.) Again, it is not “yourselfs”, it is “yourselves”. Finally, “GREETY” is a bastardization of the word “greet”, while from your context it should be “GREEDY”, stemming from the word “greed”. Oh and in English one capitalizes the first letter of the first word at the beginning of a sentence.
It’s not like the website doesn’t spell check as you go. Wow what are you, twelve? Oh sorry, you may better understand it if I wrote twelf.
