What is the price for selling out?
Remember I reported that Fred Trost had stated on his program that there were no anti hunting and fishing people?
This came as a shock to me.... and apparently to a lot of other sportsmen in Oakland County...
Why do I say this? well he has lost his funding for his pbs show. He stated that there are fewer hunters and anglers, that is not true.... there are more today than there ever has been in the past.
Selling out on those who support you is like cutting off you legs to spite your earwax.
Fred reported he is on his last 13 weeks. I am not surprised about this development, This means he will no longer be getting a paycheck from pbs to broadcast his program... if only he would have caught on and offered an apology to the sportsmen of Oakland county he would have continued to have a job....

[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Alas another era has past with out lessons learned. Hopefully the remaining sportsman shows will not make this mistake. So far both the remaining three programs report that there are anti hunting and fishing people and that they are organized and are present in almost every neighborhood surrounding our resources.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]It breaks my heart, Fred had the hammer and failed to use it…. Hope this will be the last lesson he will have to learn.. Fred could have used his half hour segment and aired a 5-minute segment showing court cases how he was protecting sportsman rights. There are literally thousands upon thousands of cases around this state where people are dined their rights to their legal accesses and all he had to do was air one a week and expose those who are denying the rights of fisherman for what ever reasons they are.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I guess the moral of this story is that if you are going support some one don’t deny the existence of their nemesis …[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Fred’s remaining programs will be full of pre-recorded segments from years past.[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]So for now we will bid Fred Trost fair well and hope that he will take this lesson learned to his next venture.[/size][/font]
