Dear Dead Shot Supporters:

Thank you for phone calls, emails and letters regarding the great outdoors!  The HuntMasters Club which is a weekly meeting club here in Des Moines, Iowa, of which my black lab “Buddy IV” is the president thereof and the above motto that we live up to of “When Hunting and Fishing, Put Back More Than You Take”.  All outdoor people should live by this motto, hunt by this motto, shoot by this motto, fish by this motto and vote this fall by this motto.

One of our finest pieces of Legislation and Constitutional Amendment to come before the people of Iowa in the last one hundred years, will be vote by the public in November of this year on whether to amend the State Constitution and set up a protected account to improve what the state’s water quality and resources in order to improve wildlife habitat, soil conservation, lake restoration, lake restoration, parks and trails.

As we pursue life from the hunting and fishing angle, we must bear in mind that we have to “Put Back More Than We Take” from the outdoors. Under the proposed Constitutional Amendment, the next time law makers raise the sales tax, 3/8 of the monies raised by a one cent increase will go into the new account, a Natural Resource and Outdoor Recreational Trust Fund. It is believed that this will bring a hundred and fifty million dollars a year for the outdoors.  This new amendment is called “The Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment”.  This Constitutional Amendment will not raise taxes, but will only come into play if in fact, there is an increase in sales tax by that one percent.

We all enjoy the outdoors and we all need to help the outdoors and this is the greatest thing for the outdoors within the last hundred years!  Most of you readers of my column are outdoors people and already belong to a conservation group which I know will agree to vote for this Constitutional Amendment.

And remember, When Hunting and Fishing, Put Back More Than You Take!

Have A Good Hunt And Keep On Fishing!
DEAD SHOT
