Ain't no secret that there wouldn't be no hunting 'thout the actions of past conservationists. Wouldn't be any huntable populations of game, wouldn't be no public lands to hunt on. So why don't hunters talk 'bout conservation? Why do they label anybody talkin' conservation with the dreaded "e" label? Seems kinda hypocritical to me. I've even heard critisism of the best conservation organization we got going, RMEF, because the magazine "Bugle" talks about conservation instead of purely devoted to "hunting'. Big surprize, conservation is the primary mission, and without it, you can sell your huntin' boots for dog toys. Anybody ever wonder what the so-called "conservatives" of the early 1900s thort of the actions that saved game and made hunting possible today? Too bad this site is constrained by political rhetoric and small-minded labeling. Pretty much insures that nuthin' good and lasting will ever come of our banter here.
