It's so amazing that many of these ignorant people don't realize that if not for the American Sportsmen and Women, making contributions to help wildlife, many animals would be long extinct in many areas instead. The State of Georgia alone, Deer and Turkey populations were extinct until the money from Sportsmen and women licenses and taxes on hunting and fishing gear were used to reintroduce these species along with many other. This stamp sounds like a great idea too me.

True, hunters have financed the return of near extinct wildlife and purchased most (make that all) of the public land (where the majority of wildlife exists today).

On the other hand, the Humane Society of the U.S. rakes in more than $50 million annually, and doesn't do squat for any animals, including domestic kitties and puppies.

They are one of the biggest frauds in this country, yet most Americans think they are wonderful animal protectors.

The HUSUS spends their money trying to end animal research, hunting, fishing, attacking agricultural interests, and sending propaganda to schools to influence kids to be AR wackos. Oh, and they spend a lot of their money paying themselves (BOD) huge salaries, including the HSUS president, who makes more than the president of the U.S.
