Do a search on the pittman-roberson act. It in essence, is an excise tax on all hunting related item purchases. This tax generates millions of dollars to fund wildlife restoration programs. Also check into the economics of hunting, and how the millions of hunters generate billions of dollars, through gas purchases, hotel, food and license purchases. How whole towns depend on hunting as tourism and other economic bonuses. Or maybe the hundreds of employees that outdoor related manufacturers employ. Or how through hunters and monies generated from them are re-establishing elk herds, turkey pop. and other animal restoration programs. Or how through hunting, ranches in Texas and across the US are diversifying incomes though hunts. Or how hunting in Africa, the main souce of income for some tribes is employment in hunting preserves. There are a lot of benefits that hunting brings to people, you just have to check into it. I could write a thousand pages on this subject and most hunters who have to deal with anti's should know these facts in order to maintain the upperhand.
