....Of course the Greens, Audubon Society, etc. appropriated what was a legitimate effort on the part of sportsmen and conservationists; and here we are today.
Population of the US in 1970, 205 million, waterfowl hunters that year, supposedly the peak, 2 million. Today, 330 million in the US, maybe 10 percent illegally, half the waterfowl hunters.
And here we are today, the center for biological diversity chelating condors and the fifth largest economy in the world, gladly feeding sea turtle tons of plastic and stainless steel illegal drug needle litter. There may be double the upland bird hunters, and a few of us have noticed waterfowl feeding in the grain field of pheasant country.
I get it, 'friends' of ours don't like hunters and shooters.
