Dear Pam and to Whom else it may concern, My name is Philbert Suggs and I am an avid hunter, a proud patriot and a Godly fearing warrior for Christ. After reading your incredible account of the fight of one Kevin Hoyt, who against all odds is trying his darnedest to recruit young children to become more interested in hunting and killing animals I am set on contacting him.
Pam, it is a fearful time for us hunters in America and as Kevin points out in your story,
"we hunters are the true endangered species here and it is we who need to be protected"
Yes, how right he is and it is we hunting types who may not be around in the future to see the benefits from all the hard work we do with guns.
Pam, I'm writing this letter to you because after spending almost 15 hours or more browsing on the internets yesterday in order that I would find contact info for Mr. Kevin Hoyt it seems animal rights activists have once again sabotaged my gigaweb browser apparatus's and I cannot find Kevin anywhere. I was wondering if you could please pass on his info to me or my e-mail to Kevin?
Besides our intense love for all that is hunting we have so much in common.
1. He (at 35 years old) has left his wife and 5 kids to travel the country and recruit children under 12 years old so that they will have a love of hunting.
I (at 45 years old) just recently left my mother's home to try and teach children about the NRA and hunting animals for Jesus.
2. Kevin carves detailed pictures of big game animals on mushrooms. (He has a god given talent)
I build statues of big game animals from scrap metal and recycled aluminum.
3. Kevin lies to liberal school officials about his promoting of hunting to children because they will object to the killing of things.
I sneak into schools disguised as a maintenance type repairman and wander the halls until I'm asked to leave or until I receive a sign from above.... to repent against the evil temptations and then search the city streets for someone to scold me.
4. Kevin and I both drive camouflaged pick up trucks and sleep in them over night on the side of the road.
5. Kevin once sat still in a tree stand with a 10 year old boy for seven days in the pouring rain to help the child kill his first bear.
I once sat under a bush in the scorching desert sun for three, maybe four or maybe 7 days. I can't remember now because I awoke in a biker bar after blacking out from heatstroke and losing a toe to a hungry coyote.
6. Kevin says the most important thing he has learned in his 30 or so years of hunting was how to wash his clothes in a special detergent to knock out his scent.
Gosh, I also learned how to wash special places where my scent was too strong and it has helped me throw off Satan's homosexual agents who taunt me everyday with subliminal messages.
I no longer will watch reruns of Rifleman with that Chuck Conners fella alone in my TV chapel.

Pam, I am now beginning to realize that this brave dedicated man Kevin is extremely important for me in achieving my dream of a "No Child Left Behind Without Killing Something" organization.
So please, help us two men find each other and help us, help the children.


God Bless You,

Philbert Suggs
