Skeet I don't remember the chicken man but I can't remember my own name most of the time any more. Glick is the only one I ever listened to.
One time the Grand Rapids Michigan Junior college had Amory as a speaker. Another trapper and I went to hear his BS and hand out some Trappers Tell The Truth booklets after he was done with his propaganda.
We almost didn't get in the door because my buddy dropped a few of his booklets on top of Amory's at the tickets table. The were not going to let us in until I threatened to call one of the local TV stations. I had tought the general manager how to catch the porcupines that were eating up his cottage so he owed me.
We ended up being surrounded in the bleachers. A cop on each side and ushers in front and behind us.
One of the cops watched me fill out a question to pose to Amory at the end of his rant about not using animals to prey on peoples sympathies while selling seal buttons out of the other side of his mouth.
I had a copy of his IRS Non Profit statement that showed he raised almost a million buck and only 10,000 showed as going to help any animal. They gave him the question and he danced all around with out giving a reason why. The idiot crowd gave him a standing ovation.
After the speech both of the cops told us they wished they could take off there uniforms and help us pass out our booklets as Amory was a kook. They both stood by the exit with a copy of the trapper booklet in plain sight.
All the pro trapping stickers were stripped off my car in the parking ramp.
Many morinigs I would listen to good old county on WSM AM from Nashville while running traps before daylight. Dang the good old days.
