They CLOSED our hunting grounds?

[SkyWarrior]

Nevermind that MOST hunters are biggest conservationist! Some game/meat species have been SAVED frome extinction by hunt clubs in the southern states...and are being reintroduced back into their original habitats.

Also...let's not forget about all the vector-borne diseases that are starting to spread worse than previous years...Lyme disease....thank you very much! Oh...let's save Bambi....now we have lyme disease! Nevermind Rocky Mountain Spotten Fever and this new thing...supposedly getting bad down towards Charlottesville, VA:

I like wide, open spaces as much as everyone else...but I think we should get to CHOOSE to live in them...or be crammed into cities...YUCK!

Wow, thanks for the link about that tick-borne disease. Weird stuff. We get a lot of ticks out here. Not so much with fleas.

Yes, hunting money goes toward conservation--which most people who aren't hunters don't realize. More often than not, huge amounts of money go to preserve wild lands, habitats, and species that come from hunters' pockets. An ecology prof said it best -- "Want to save a species? Make it a game animal. Guaranteed to have more studies and increase in habitat due to money and research."
