NY Times figures out that hunting is good for nature

Bear with the author for a coupe of paragraphs. He starts out advocatus diaboli, but then makes his point. I.e.; hunters are conservationists.

Not bad for the NYT.

I think the more amazing thing is you were "Actually" reading the New York TimesFish wrap.
I needed a mod to change my signature because the concept of "family friendly" eludes me.
Just noticed that a mod changed my signature. How long ago was that?

Ted Nugent has often stated, "If you want to preserve a species, open it up to hunting".
Personally, I do not understand how a bunch of people demanding a bigger govt can call themselves anarchist.
I meet lots of folks like this, claim to be anarchist but really they're just liberals with pierced genitals. - gunsmith

We need to make sure we close all liberal hunting seasons poste haste!
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Well, conservation involves science and science is math and hippies hate and fear math with the fire of a thousand of those big balls of fire in the sky.
