No Funding, No Trespassing

An article from The Hill By Steve Kline, Director, Center for Agricultural Lands at the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership   http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/energy-a-environment/195833-no-funding-no-trespassing   Before breaking for Thanksgiving, Congress voted to de-fund the Voluntary Public Access and Habitat Incentive Program (VPA-HIP) as part of the FY2012 agriculture appropriations bill.  It is ironic that funding for a program that encourages landowners to make their property accessible to hunters and anglers would be eliminated just as millions of hunters nationwide prepared to hit the woods over the holiday weekend. And whether or not they hunt themselves, all Americans benefit from sportsmen’s dollars and the conservation investments provided by license sales and excise taxes, and therefore, the elimination of VPA-HIP deserves some attention.

Deer Season is in Full Swing!

I have been listening alot lately...and in my ears are the words of many women who have been hunting, have just tagged their first buck, have taken their sons or daughters or grandchildren hunting and many other wonderful (and sometimes funny) stories.  I love the words I am hearing!!!!  these are women who are conservationists. They love the outdoors and want to share that appreciation with their legacy.  Hopefully, some of those women will post on this blog from time to time to share these stories.

Why Do You Hunt?

I’m sure that not everyone understands the hunting heritage and it’s place in tradition, but with around 90,000 or more deer hunters in a given year, plus another 10,000 or so who don’t hunt deer but pursue other game, it’s evident that hunting ranks right up there with Friday night high school football as a fall interest.
