Last Season Pictures
These pictures are from Mike that has like many of us an enjoyment of wildlife pictures for his and other's viewing. Mike has made generous update contributions throughout the years and he still has more to come for this summer to remind us of things to come.
Thanks Mike for the excellent wildlife and habitat pictures.
The Other Side
Updates concerning anti-hunting animal right's group activities have been on hiatus simply due to being the same issues in different locations. And, they are winning consistently at public relations, changing business practices of several companies and getting a lot of press time. With less than 20% of the USA population being hunters, the anti's seek the long road to success by building a following in excess of 20% of the USA population and then turn on hunting issues. This following development is through good works such as increasing employment of emotion based pet welfare issues, environmental and consumer food safety. With the antis having a larger pool of persons to develop into activists the odds are against those that seek to hunt. Meanwhile, even the recent efforts of such good organizations as the US Sportsmen's Alliance at creating an organization to battle the anti's has failed to generate even a whimper of a main stream news article.
