Thanks, Stoat. Articles like this are invaluable—they reach out to ordinary people who have been over-influenced by PETA and have been raised to believe that hunting of any sort is cruel and nasty. In the UK, of course, the attack on field sports is part of a Marxist war on traditional values and the English character. Here it is less advanced, but there are powerful forces moving to regulate and ultimately eliminate hunting. We need more articles like this in the US to help make people realize that even if they don’t hunt, hunting and shooting are okay and in fact play an important role in wildlife control.
Thank you for your kind words and I’m delighted that you’ve found it to be worthwhile :-)
Agreed on all your points, which are quite well-stated.
I think it’s also particularly valuable having been written by a lady, as it will reach the exact audience you want to with this sort of viewpoint....the demographic whose eyes will glaze over and skip to another article about Oprah instead of reading something like this particularly if it’s written by a man, who is typically more associated with shooting sports.

It is less advanced only because pro-gun voters VOTE on the issue and have neutered the anti-gun mentality in Congress.
But be very aware, if the Democrats could take away our gun rights and get away with it ... THEY WOULD.
They are like looters in a town. If you bar the windows and lock the doors, they move on. If you leave a door or window open, expect to get robbed blind.
