    The World's Largest Army? America's Hunters



    The world's largest army? America's hunters

    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 http://federalistpaupers.com/index.php/ ... never-win/ 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.
    Ron Paul in 2011 "[...]no amnesty should be granted. Maybe a 'green card' with an asterisk should be issued[...]a much better option than deportation."
