You know it, the true conservationists are hunters and fishermen. For over a 100 year hunting and fishing license fees have paid for more wildlife sanctuaries than anyone else. All those Libs that enjoy Wildlife and Bird Refuges in the U.S. can thank hunters and fishermen who gave the funds for them.
My BIL has a sister who was on staff at the site I posted just above.
Our uncle hand-crafted a variety of some of the largest caliber African hunting rifles made, up to and including the .700 Nitro Express.
While it was an awkward situation when sis visited, the conservationists admitted that controlled hunts are necessary for the survival of the different species.
