RE: The Facts
 

Compare the health of the wild life in our country as opposed to countrys in Europe where hunting is restricted or illegal.

Also how much money has the Pittman Robertson fund raised for habbitat as compaired to the money anti everything groups have raised.

I if wasn't for sportsmen the only wildlife habitat we would have in this nation would be city zoos.

Doe Culler,

The anti's don't need a leg to stand on, all they need is an uniformed public, sympathy and a united lobbying front, and in many cases they are way ahead of hunters.

It's not archery that should be taught in schools, it is sound management practices for all renewable resources, plants and animals.


Jzarr,

I like your style, your information, and espceially your willingness to put it on the line. You can hunt with me anytime, or speak WITH or FOR me at any seminar I do.

Keep up the good work, the rest of you follow this example.

God bless all of you, and get off your butts and fight for YOUR rights,

T.R.

RE: The Facts
 

T.R.,

Did you mean along with archery teach management practices on renewable resources, or do not teach archery in schools?

RE: The Facts
 

I meant teach them both, along with gun safety, because guns are being used to kill others, not bows. But if it comes down to one course, it should be management of renewable resources, with hunting as one of the management tools for animals.

A renewable resources management course probably has a better chance of getting into many schools, due to anti hunting and anti-weapon sentiments, and due to lower costs involved, and the possbible need for additional insurance.

As a side note:

Deer car/accidents averaged $1,500 per vehicle in Eagan, MN a few years ago. I'm sure it is higher now, and all of us pay higher premium rates because of it.

The NSSF stated that whitetail hunters spent an average of $1,500 per hunter in incidentals per year (gas, food, groceries, lodging etc). Hunting of any kind is a big boost to the economy of many rural areas each year.

RE: The Facts
 

Almost brings a tear to your eye doesn't it.

Research and other information has proven that without hunting whitetail deer thousands more people would lose their lives due to vehicle collisions. That alone is to justify what we do.

T.R. and JZarr,

You should start your own web sites. Your informatin is great.

Good Hunting

Hardluck,

I don't know if that was a plug or not. But, if you didn't know, I am the author of the "T.R.'s Tips" forum here at Hunting.Net. You might like it, we have lots of
Christian threads. I do have a website.

Jzarr,

He's right, but w3ebsites are slightly expensive, and terribly time consuming.
