Never did think we were ashamed of it, though.

$100 billion reasons that the anti's currently do not stand a chance of really wrecking things for hunters.

Nice article.. I wrote an argumentativepaper on hunting in a college writing class and part of it was how hunting effects our economy.

This is the type of stuff that really needs to get pushed when you are dealing with the very large numbers of people who are ambivalent about hunting. But, i doubt that the hardcore anit-hunting folks would care if stopping hunting caused a second great depression.

I also wrote a paper in college cocerning the economics of hunting also. It showed the significance of revenue due to hunting and the interrelationship of the hunting industry with forestry,agriculture,etc.

Very good article. One thing you can bet on is those anti dont have a problem chowing down on a big piece of beef, chicken, turkeys or fish etc.

Every penny I spent was well worth it!!

Put that in your anti and smoke it!
