The world's largest army? America's hunters!

December 6, 2010

I don't spend my fall weekends tramping around the woods in pursuit
of a buck, but a lot of my friends and neighbors do.

This blogger adds up all the hunters in just a handful of states, and
comes to a striking conclusion:

The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without
someone getting killed. That's great. There were over 600,000 hunters.

Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth
largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran; more than
France and

Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state to
help keep the deer menace at bay.

But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of
Pennsylvania this week. Michigan's 700,000 hunters have now returned
home.

Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and it is
literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would
comprise the largest army in the world.

His point? America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with
that kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of
national security. Now, I wonder why a lot of congressional members
and liberals want to ban firearms?

I love my country.

It's the Government I'm afraid of.

God Bless America!
