STATE NEWS
Greetings from the land of Hiawatha! Allow me to introduce myself; my name is Craig Frank. I
reside in Michigan's Western U.P. near the shores of Lake Superior's Keweenaw
Bay. I've lived in this great state all of my life and enjoy all it has to
offer. I've been a member of this fine organization since World Bowhunters
back in the 80's and have been active throughout the organization since 2000.
I have recently accepted the position of Michigan State Director, of which I
take very seriously! I've lived all over this state, made scores of
friends, went on boatloads of hunts We're looking for several like minded ambitious persons who sincerely care about our sporting rights and would like to assist in doing more in the fight to preserve, conserve, spread the word and help to better these rights we now have. Pro family, pro second amendment, pro hunting, pro fishing, pro conservation...all worth the effort! If not us, who? If not now, when? My lines are open...contact me anytime!
Blood brothers, Husband and Father "Take your kids hunting so you don't have to hunt for your kids."
U.P. Regional Director, Dan Dowdy, Smallmouth bass caught on a secret inland lake here in 'da U.P...and with gut wrenching agony...released. It weighed 6 pounds 7 ounces and was 20" long.
Craig's Smallmouth Bass caught same lake...5 pounds 14 ounces and 19" long...again painfully released! The other fish I'm holding is another Rainbow Trout caught same lake. Good eatin'

and
shared many campfires. From this I've developed a deep rooted appreciation
and love for the great outdoors and the fine people of this state. Since
my move up here in 1999 from the urban sprawl and concrete jungle, my daily
ritual has changed dramatically. What was once...get up before any
civilized person should, head to work, drive truck until the boss said I'm done,
come home dead to the world, has now evolved into a successful real estate
practice, of which I set the hours, selling quality recreational, waterfront and
hunting properties, which in turn allows me countless hours in the woods
developing
relationships with like minded people! How cool is that! I run a
very select Bear Guide Service.... on years I don't draw. But best of all,
I enjoy quality FAMILY time outdoors, ESPECIALLY UP AT THE CABIN! These
things we come to enjoy and take for granted are constantly being attacked by
the ever so dangerous watchful eye of the anti's looking for a weak spot to sink
their misguided fangs into. If we waiver, show weakness or continue to
lower our hunting license numbers every year, without standing up against them,
we're sure to fail and vicious bite by bite, we will lose
these cherished rights
we now have. Our children and future generations stand to lose most if we
take the "someone else will do it" attitude. Strength in numbers is what's
needed to fend off any enemy. Yes, someone else may do it but don't cry to
me if you wake up one morning and another restriction has been placed on
hunting, fishing or trapping, or worse yet taken away entirely! How about
your firearms? They want those too!! Australia didn't think it would
happen...ask any citizen how the crime is now that they cannot own firearms.
What we have is worth fighting for so our future generations can enjoy what we
had, but only better. We need to get kids back out in the outdoors, not
grasping some joystick in front of the idiot box. This is melting the
fabric of America! Bring the family back
together
as a unit, get outdoors, taste the Spirit of the Wild...and most of all...FIGHT
FOR IT!
