Even a better fact. Sportsmen throughout history are the ones responsible for creating the conservation minded people of the world. Granted that some have took this to means beyond reason. Aka peta, and the nature conservancy. But in truth who's paying the bill for them to have animals and enviroment to fight over? Us the sportsmen of the are paying the bill.
We as sportsmen contribute to well over 80% of ALL FUNDING that supports wildlife re-introductions, endanged species acts, and enviormental habitat enhancements. All these sub organizations that are for the enviorment don't really produce squat. All the game preserves and state wildlife agencies along with numerous other projects are funded off the back of sportsmen and womens hunting tags. These are simple facts that the conservatives seem to forget. Yet they are so vital to the enviorment that without them animals and habitat would be left to defend themselves alone. Where's the bleeding hearts when that time comes to pass? Hunting does keep the wildlife healthy from over population and diseases that form from over populated areas and interbreeding. So do we think hunting benefits the world we like to play in. Yeah just slightly because without us there's no chance of survival for the enviroment. Nothing like turning a National Park into a Shopping plaza.
Don't spout off to these people my fellow sportsmen. Shove the facts straight down their throats.
