Cmon now btb. Dont you know by now to give me the benefit of a doubt? I was referring to the "farmers" lanse mentioned. According to usda there are an estimated 58,000 farms in Pa. There were 12,448,279 People in Pa in 2008 according to the census bureau.
The "vast majority" isnt even debatable so i dont exactly feel compelled to "prove" anything in that regard. Its common knowledge.
"At least when the bird posts a stat, he has some basis from which he twists things. You just pull the numbers outta your backside!"
Hardly. Im not going to call you a liar. But that IS a lie.

LOL, I see you've been taking lessons from the bird.
Funny how you try to say your 1% is the farmers only but that wasnt what was said. The continued existence of hunting as we know it depends on our value to the nonhunting public. No, of course we dont "bend over" but too many hunters have forgotten that it's the timber companies who have been the single largest block of private landowners who have always welcomed ud with open arms on their ground. Now guys like you, the bird and the USP types continue to bash and demonize our hosts because they expect a decent return on their investment. They didnt buy all that property, maintain it and pay the taxes on it all these years just to produce a deer herd for us to hunt. They are in the timber BUSINESS. The minute that becomes unprofitable, they'll bail and who knows what'll happen to our sport then.
Oh, and your "vast majority" has been disproven by every credible poll done to date. No the tainted ones done here don't count. Sooooorrrrrry
PS: according to Odot Ohio has 188000 + miles of road
