Is there any seriously organized group to counter these folks? I did a
google on the subject and only came up with a group who's goal it was to
make light of them. I also saw an aritcle where sheep farmers in Austraila
(where the animals outnumber the people) were in a battle with them because
Peta considers sheering the animals inappropriate !

The NRA fights them on the hunting side. Most hunting groups, like the
Wild Turkey Federation, Ducks, Unlimited, Elks Unlimited fight them.
There are a couple of other groups that are starting to work -
Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus and the newly formed National Assembly
of Sportsmen's Caucuses are working against them. So far BASS, FLW and
other competitive fishing groups seem to be asleep - guess they don't
think they are a threat, but it seems to me the first thing for the anti
nuts to go after in fishing is tournaments.
