The World's Largest Army - America's Hunters?

The below information was E-mailed to me by a good friend of mine who also owns these great dogs:


"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.

 America will forever be safe from foreign invasion of troops 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! "

Makes me homesick seeing these pictures Rod! I fully agree the 2nd amendment is for defense of freedom by the people against over-reaching government, which is precisely WHY we became a sovereign country and that fact (and cost of freedom) was not lost on the crafters of our constitution or the governing body when the Second amendment was passed.
