The Germantown Sportsmen’s Association Club has been under a lot of heat!! They need our support.
This Club was established over 40 years ago as a group of outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hunting, fishing, archery, canoeing and many other outdoor activities. They also go beyond that and partake in local community events, as well assist neighbors in whatever they can. Trying to get fellow hunter enthusiasts has brought out the evil in people. From death threats to hate mail. It is not news that hunting has always been a very heated topic. Hunting has been around for many many years. 95% of meat in hunters freezers normally comes from hunting. Geese, squirrels, deer, turkey, Elk, bear the list goes on. Hunted meat is healthier than most meat. Most wildlife is killed from accidents, clearing of land to building homes and businesses. This club teaches youth hunters to hunt for purpose. To use everything they choose to hunt.
Hunters care about the environment because they know the wildlife depends on a clean environment. They spend thousands of dollars to conservations, advocating for wild life, donating meat to the hungry. Especially now during a pandemic where money is tight and people need food to survive. Teaching kids to hunt at a young age not only teaches them responsibility but teaches them about safety and hunting regulations. You need a license and In order to get a license one needs to take a hunter safety course. It teaches them to use what they hunt. It also teaches them to give to the hungry if they so choose. This meat is also offered to wild life rehabilitation centers who will use it to feed birds of prey and other animals that will be released into the wild to maintain their hunting instincts. We must show this Association that we stand behind them and their good deeds. They certainly do not need to be threatened nor crucified because someone does not agree with hunting for their food! Sign this petition in support to keep their rights protected! Donations made on this site go to the ipetions site not to the club. You can make donations directly to the club PO Box 241 Germantown NY 12526!!!

It’s a shame that the ASPCA sees this event this way. We have taken most mid to small size predators out of the ecosystem. This type of event, can help balance things out.
Our children need places like this. I am terrified that when me daughter is old enough, these places won't be around because of the ignorance and stupidity of a bunch of people who don't enjoy places like this.
Kids learning to live off the land is hardly killing for fun. If you spent any time with someone teaching a child about hunting you would know, rule #1 don’t shoot what you won’t eat.
The people opposed to the hunt are unaware of the conservation and nuisance issues associated with over population of these animals and uninformed as to the value of the scramble for our community, It is important that we Heisman the ignorance and hold onto our small town values and traditions.
The ethical and conversation minded sportsman should not be in fear of engaging in their chosen activities. Best of luck!!
German Town Sportsman teaches real family values!
Heard about this on meateater and want to show my support as a New Yorker. Definitely going to participate next year.

I'm going to see about becoming a member my grandfather was a lifetime member until he died. We wrapped the gifts for Santa to hand out to the kids every Christmas now I'm back living in NY and I want to be a part of it again.
