Hi Guys: If you gents ever need my voice or support on 2nd amendment or hunting issues just reach out to me or call me. Yes I'm enjoying my life as a father, a baseball dad and just don't have the free time to jet off to Africa and hunt freely like I used to.
Yes I took my fair share, and now other priorities have replaced my hunting time. Having said that I will always support hunting and the 2nd amendment.
"No" as I read somewhere online or something, I have not disavowed or tried to bury my hunting past. I'm proud of it. I still attend SCI stuff and other hunting conventions. Still a proud Life Member. I'm unapologetic about my hunting past.
I still find time to bust a cap every now and then. I've probably lost a tick or two on my fastball, can't shoot those Jarrett's as accurately as I used to, but for the record I am not some anti, bunny hugger or turncoat or any of that stuff that those nuts purport me to be.
That's great to hear. I can't remember where I had read about you distancing yourself from your hunting past but I am very glad to hear you say that is untrue.
Cheers
Jim

Marc, glad to see you weigh in. I did give your name to someone with the NRA's Hunter's Leadership Forum a while back as someone they might consider using as a spokesperson on hunting issues. I do think in this day and age of the sound bite and social media, an articulate and knowledgeable spokesperson to address the media and the public would be something worthwhile. Hope all is well.

Bwana MojaCool and thanks Mike. I talk to them every once in awhile and yes it is a soundbite instantaneous world... which person can create the most buzz in a fifteen second soundbite, a cool pic or a 140 character post. That does sometimes work against the hunting fraternity, especially when our attempts hit the wrong mark. Image and first impressions are everything.
