I found this great article on Outdoor U. This is the kind of stuff that makes hunters despise PETA and is also the reason many of us will never give the is ultra-left wing organization any respect.
Craig A. Manock had a great point in the comments section. I believe what Craig said would go a long way in educating the uneducated when it comes to hunting. In other words who better to support the sport than hunters.
believe that if we as hunters want to protect our hunting privileges we need to start educating the non-hunting public about our hunting activities and what we do for wildlife. Without the support of the non-hunting public we will be doomed when it comes to voting on important issues.
The animal rights people are a small percentage of the people in this country and I believe that the average person would be on our side if they knew the truth.
Personally, I feel that there should be a national organization solely dedicated to educating US citizens about the benefits of hunting and to show them what our money does for wildlife. If people knew what the condition of our national wildlife would be in without our money I think we would have a fighting chance. I can't think of another group of people, that put their money where their mouth is when it comes to wildlife conservation, than the sportsman.
