The World's Largest Army.
America's Hunters?
The state of Wisconsin has gone the entire 2010 deer hunting season without someone getting killed. (Not even friendly fire)That's great! There were over 600,000 hunters. Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than France and Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state (Wisconsin) to help keep the deer population menace at bay. But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week. Michigan's 700,000 hunters have now returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, nearly a million in Ohio, and it is literally the case that the hunters of those five states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.
It is a volunteer armed guard, no tax money required or ask for. It is about families, safety and private property.
America will forever be safe from foreign invasion of troops with that kind of home-grown firepower. Hug a hunter today.
Hunting - it's not just a good way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of real American homeland security!
