THE PLAN
Fellow deer farmers.
Most of you by now are wondering what the plan is to get move hunters so we can harvest more bucks and promote breeding to a new level.
The SPACIFIC GOAL or vision encompasses advertising for more hunters to the hunting ranch’s. WHY: To harvest the shooter bucks produced by the breeders. For years breeders have been marketing their breeding stock. Now is the time to market their shooter bucks. Just as dairy farmers market their milk. The specific goal is to bring down the wall or stigma of canned hunts. HOW: To advertise the experience and advantages of high fenced hunting. Note: the focus must be on the hunting experience and not the hunting ranch. Sell potential hunters on the benefits of high fenced hunting, they will find the ranch’s. What are the benefits, No licenses, guaranteed hunt, great values, good selection, close proximity ect.
What is the plan?
Concerning a plan, we do have a plan and are prepared to move forward. But the reason we have not given you our plan is because this is all of OUR industry and with that in mind, we all should be taking part in OUR plan.. We want and need YOUR input to form a plan that will be flexible enough to change and it will change. We project it will take five years to get the plan to level off. What I call level is when the hunting ranch’s have purchased all the available shooters from the breeders.
Donations and plan must be implemented by September 1st so advertising will have maximum effective. If not we loose another year.
How is the plan implemented?
If we have 100-200+ hunts and donations. The possibilities are endless. If marketed right, major sporting goods chains, hunting clothes manufactures, deer calls, deer urine, tree stands. Any business marketing products for deer hunters will want in on part of the action. Because with posted ground and limited deer herds and time the future of hunting is gradually shifting to high fenced hunting. This will take time and persistence but with 100 to 200 free hunts we will get attention.
Who is going to implement the plan?
At this time we are just getting the ball rolling. At whose feet the ball stops is in the deer industries hands. Perhaps NADEFA hunting Ranch council. I stress it is very important that an unbiased party controls the decision making and the cash flow of this “no name plan“ (at this time). An unbiased person or party who will listen to the heart beat of our industry not seeking monetary gain or fame.
Also the leadership does not have to be well spoken (although a plus). But they must be well respected and connected to the above mentioned business marketing hunting and sporting goods products, TV shows and video production, ect. This can be more than one person
The plan will also have to be implemented at a state level. State Ass. carries out the plan aligning hunters with perspective ranch’s, drawings ect.
We also need a list of all hunting ranch’s state by state that are willing to participate.
If we get 100 to 200 donations, there will be a lot more plan to implement
The main reason the plan was not revealed in the thread in because the focus of the thread will be lost in the planning and not the donating. I agree we must continue to seek out each breeders thoughts. MAY THIS THREAD BE THE PLACE TO DO IT. So we do not distract from the donating.
We must envision a 1,2,3,4,5 year plan and into the future. There for we know some of you desire to donate but have nothing at this time. That’s OK There is the next years and the next and the next after that. In fact for those of you who financially or deer wise can not donate this year. Encourage the ones who have donated by posting I can not donate this year but I will support you the next or the following year. That way we have a donation list started for 2011, 2012 ect.
We have talked about. What is the plan? How is the plan implemented? Who is going to implement the plan? But all of this is just talk with out donations.
Up to now we have labeled each other as the 3%, big bad breeder, 97%, the pet breeders, the hunting ranch’s. To make this work we must unite together. We must vent our negativity in another direction and work together.. We know that not all of us are members of State deer ass. or members of NADEFA.. Some think once we establish as association we have to protect it and its assets to be good stewards. It confuses everything. Even love for fellow breeders gets redefined as that which supports the association and unloving as to who do not.
But at heart we are all members of a deer industry because we all have deer not because we have a membership card.
What can You do?
There is one way each of you can donate right now where you are sitting and reading this. Call or email a deer farmer who has a computer and inform them of what is happening on Deer Farmer forums. Get them involved.
Call you Amish friends. They are among the most giving people I have ever seen.
Encourage you state associations to talk about this at their meetings and auctions.
Please get involved. NADEFA, your state ass. can not do this with out YOU.
