I agree with you. But unfortunately, the word "environmentalist" doesn't mean what it used to. It's been co-opted by the Left by the Green agenda, which is nothing more than thinly disguised socialism.
I prefer to use the phrase "old-school conservationist." (See my Post # 13)
And, yes, I'm a proud old-school conservationist.
I hunt and fish. Nearly everyone I know hunts & fishes. We take what we NEED and USE what we take.
And we never, EVER soil our own nests. :)
I always chuckle when I see “HUnting and fishing is no longer a means to put food on the table”.
I just finished up 30 lbs of WIld boar Bratwurst, Sweet Italian sausage and breakfast sausage and I still have 40 lbs of venison to get packaged for freezing and donation to our church.
Hunting and saves my family about 400 lbs of store bought meat per year not counting what we consume in fish.
I would guess our $$ savings to be over $1,000 per year if you add in the garden
