House Republicans fighting the Obama administration’s environmental agenda are finding themselves making decisions that threaten the party’s carefully nourished relationship with the hook and bullet crowd.

Anglers and hunters once courted by President George W. Bush don’t like what they’re seeing in the GOP’s mad dash to cut spending and have made their feelings clear in meetings this month with top aides to House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.).

As the Republican leaders no doubt know, this is not a crowd to mess with. The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation estimates that nearly eight in 10 hunters always vote in presidential elections, while six in 10 go to the polls in off years.

The outdoorsmen typically lean Republican, but Democrats say they could capitalize with a constituency that’s also known to be pretty independent minded.

“That’s a very powerful group,” said Minnesota Rep. Tim Walz. “They bring in a pretty diverse voice. I think you have to be really careful with this because I think the American public, while they want spending cuts, certainly don’t want to decimate the environment for the long run.”

Bush routinely fought with mainstream environmental groups. But the Texan, who loved to clear brush on his Crawford ranch, worked hard to court the outdoor crowd.

Bush won accolades from conservationists for his handling of the Healthy Forests Initiative to diminish forest fire risks and for creating farm bill programs to promote wetlands and wildlife habitat. The Adirondack Council, which focuses only on the New York state park, also backed Bush’s Clear Skies Act, which skirted reductions for global warming pollution but tried to make inroads on acid rain, a big problem in the region. “There was definitely a feeling in the hunting and fishing community that the Clinton administration had not shown the level of respect [it deserved],” said H. Dale Hall, a Bush-era director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who leads Ducks Unlimited. “Whether it’s true or not, the perception was there that they were a secondary thought. We believed it should be a primary thought.”

Back in power, House Republicans may have poisoned the well with their austere spending strategy, including the fiscal 2012 interior and environment spending bill that is on track for approval Tuesday in the Appropriations Committee.

Where are the details of the controversy? Austerity is a phrase we the sheeple should get used to.

They could always increase the usage fees, but I guess that's impossible since it would be a "tax increase".

Actually no.

In California it's been farmers versus fishermen for years.

The local track increased its general admission from $2 to $3 this season. That's a 50 percent increase, but I still show up.

Future farmers are taking up residence as we post. The new business model: kill the crews after the hard lifting is done.

He probably went fishing once so he knows all about their problems.

Do you really want to know what is pissing the sportsmen off the most, is being told the access to land for hunting and water ways for fishing is being restricted by some "phucking" Libtard government or judicial official..... (for some stupid reason like they are hurting the environment)......

Why??? Because the Libtards have no clue what the word "FUN" means in their personal life, so they try to deny others that opportunity..... Jeez, talk about a bunch of immature children....

When asked by a Liberal what I bought my Granddaughter for her 1st birthday I replied, "MORE AMMUNITION"!!!!
