The CFACT Chapter at the University of Minnesota donned their blaze orange and sought out fellow hunters on campus. CFACT-UMN Chairman Johnny Eloranta commented, “I am really a fan of the hunting theme. Everyone loves hunting and it’s not a ‘political issue’ (like global warming) and it isn’t an issue that has been completely beat to death from every angle.”
The UMN Chapter signed up over 60 new members who were attracted to Chapter officer Susan Eckstein’s message, “We’re a free-market, environmental group, but not like a crazy environmental group. We’re pro-hunting, pro-mining, and pro-development. We love the outdoor activities like hunting, fishing, etc.) Minnesota has to offer and we would never want to do anything that would jeopardize those activities for future generations.”
