Title: National Geographic-must read!!!
Post by: 8th Dwarf on November 01, 2007, 04:51:00 PM
The latest National Geographic has the best PRO HUNTING article I have read in years!  This is going to just the right people, too.

PLEASE...get a copy and read the article.  It has all the facts and figures.  I'm having my grandson take it to his school...where he is surrounded by brain washed kids who hate hunting.  If all our kids/grandkids took this article to their schools and showed other kids who are non or anti hunters what the real facts are.

Finally, we get some good press in an important publication!

Yes, it is a good and positive piece about hunters and how they support wildlife and the environment, I found an on-line link

Very well written piece of work there.  Brings much of what we as hunters feel and see and experience to the rest of the population.

Yes, a positive, informed article in a prestigeous magazine ... SO much better than the lame, sensationalized NG TV "Hunting in America" disaster. However, looking below the surface, it gives the Ted Turner view of the future of hunting is paid hunting on private lands. NO! The history and truest meaning of hunting in America is democratic hunting on public lands, for which I will always fight, to the end. But few readers will look that deep, and having a pro-hunting feature in a mag like NG would not have been possible just a few years ago. Good news.

I've been a subscriber to NG for 30 years and this is the FIRST pro hunting article that I can ever remember.  Just got my copy yesterday and haven't had a moment to get to it but will this weekend for sure.  I was very suprised to say the least too. dino

Thanks for posting the link.  

I found out something about Ted Turner I would have never imagined.  Now I have two reasons to respect him.  He's a hunter and he dumped Jane Fonda.  :thumbsup:

Bravo to National Geographic; great article.


Too Short, thanks for posting it here.   With all the bad press it refeshing to see something that actually puts hunting in a postive light.

Sometimes I wonder if the anti and animal rights groups know how much of the funding for conservation and preservation of wildlife actually comes from hunters.

Nice to see something that is pro hunting in the mainstream press.  I emailed the editor thanking them for the article and to clear up the misconception the the ones who left the deer to rot were not hunters, but poachers.  Other than that, good article with great pics.
