I got this from another forum and hope it isnt a repost... To all my fellow hunters ... Camping World has just pulled their support for "Celebrity Apprentice" due to the fact that Donald Trump's son went hunting. It is time to let them know we will be pulling our business from them. You may do so by going to the link on this post. Here is what I wrote. Please join me and let them know such a stance - especially by a company dedicated to the outdoors - will hurt them directly in the pocketbook. http://www.campingworld.com/contactU...al%20Questions

Just go to the website and go to the comments section and leave a comment.
Just a FYI I read that Walmart has donated $300 some odd million dollars to anti hunting & fishing organazations. That was just in two years.

Thats weird considering WalMart sales hunting gear, guns and ammo. Not too mention Sam Walton's favorite hunting dog was Ol' Roy. Even named some dog food after him.

We had one of the last firearm selling Walmart stores, and the gun counter disapeared in the last month. I think they are going to start making it clear they do not suppport hunting.

This is strange to hear considering Wal-mart is now selling AR-style rifles in recent months. If anything, 3 or 4 of the Wal-marts I have visited have INCREASED the amount of shooting supplies and firearms offered for sale.

Walmart put the gun cabinet back in the store here last month. There's about 12-15 rifles, nothing special. They also pulled all the Remington ammo & gear and replaced it with Winchester.
The Camping world link is now a 404 page, guess they didn't like the comments.

Here's a PR link from their web. Had to look for it
PR-CWGS@campingworld.com <PR-CWGS@campingworld.com>
Here's what I sent:
Hope you didn't shoot yourself in the foot.....
I've been an RV'er since 1975 and enjoyed stopping at Camping World for those unique items, but if what has been rumored is true then I can always get what I need somewhere else or do without.......There are just a whole bunch of us out here who look at hunting, fishing, camping as part of an overall outdoor experience.
Is the rumor true?

I doubt Walmert itself didn't donate it. It was the employees discretion where the money went. Walmart probably just matched what the employees chose.

I got this back from camping World:
"To clarify our position, Camping World as America’s Largest Outdoor company, believes in personal freedom. In this country, people are free to choose. This issue at hand is not about whether people should be able to hunt or not. Our company is neither for nor against hunting. We are for personal choice and having people enjoy the outdoors in whatever fashion they choose. However, in our opinion, if and when the hunting of endangered species occurs, whether in the United States or abroad, it is not acceptable to even the most avid of hunters. We remain strong in our conviction of preserving the outdoors, protecting our great country's lands and the freedom to choose."
Thank you, Camping World Customer Care
In other words there position is they have no position. I love knee jerk reactions from some corporate blowhard.

Heres a link to the info about "walmart".
I guess it is mostly about fishing but none the less taking away from the outdoorsman.

"I wouldn't spend another nickel with them," said Lemonis.(Camping World CEO) of buying ads during the show's airtime. "I am totally disgusted by the [hunting] pics I have seen and was surprised to see them. Money is spent, but wow, I'm really shocked." http://entertainment.gather.com/viewArticle.action? articleId=281474981191866

I talked to Lemonis personally about Camping World and their position. Understand that I wrote him and cancelled my membership in Camping World and he called me to discuss it. He made it pretty clear that he can spend his advertising dollar anywhere that he want to, which I agreed to. His position was that they took endangered species. When asked which ones, he could not answer. The pictures upset him, the picture of the guy with the elephant's tail and such. Basically typical trophy pictures, not endangered species. I also contacted Good Sam club, because they are affiliated with Camping World now and cancelled there. I got the same reply and they sent me a link to an article to support their position. Here is the link. http://www.iol.co.za/news/special-featur...trage-1.1259538Read it, see who backs it up - PETA and "Touching Earth Lightly" Read what Stephen Lamb says about your hunting activities. Here it is. “Hunting as an activity was there for a reason. It was there for human life sustenance, for people to eat. People who lived in tune with nature and understood their place in it,” Lamb said. “In a traditional hunter-gatherer sense it was acceptable, but these days are mostly over. “In a world where we are trying to save animals from extinction, trophy hunting has no place on this planet. I have had several E-mails and conversations and the bottom line is that they do not like the pictures, it bothers them. The pictures are no more than you posing with a whitetail, birds, turkey or anything else, except this was Zimbabwe. This is the last communication that I got from Camping World: Your membership has been canceled. I have removed you off our email and mailings list. Please allow 10 days for the emails to cease and 4-6 weeks for all the mailings to stop. You will receive you refund for your membership in 4-6 weeks. Thank you, Camping World Customer Care Do what you want, but I know where they stand.
