How much have you contributed to Pittman-Robertson and other wildlive

management funds this year?

Zip. I think of wildlife in local terms. So I leave it alone except for
supplying water. Photo taken from our living room

only things the local hunters are doing is reducing the wildlife
population every chance they get, tearing up my road without giving a
thought to who will fix it, and leaving their empties for me to pick up.
All the considerate, concerned with wildlife types must live in your
neck of the woods.

Virtually every round of ammo, every firearm, firearm related item,
fishing gear etc etc has taxes on them that go to the Pitmann
Robertson and Dingle Johnson funds.

Im curious..do you bitch and moan about the kids driving on your road,
pitching beer bottles and used condoms around your property as well?
Do you know which is which?

Reducing the local game wildlive in a proper manner is ..proper. Are
you claiming that they are acting illegally? If so, you should do your
civic duty and turn them in, have them arrested and testify at their
trial.

" ..The world has gone crazy. Guess I'm showing my age...
I think it dates from when we started looking at virtues
as funny. It's embarrassing to speak of honor, integrity,
bravery, patriotism, 'doing the right thing', charity,
fairness. You have Seinfeld making cowardice an acceptable
choice; our politicians changing positions of honor with
every poll; we laugh at servicemen and patriotic fervor; we
accept corruption in our police and bias in our judges; we
kill our children, and wonder why they have no respect for
Life. We deny children their childhood and innocence- and
then we denigrate being a Man, as opposed to a 'person'. We
*assume* that anyone with a weapon will use it against his
fellowman- if only he has the chance. Nah; in our agitation
to keep the State out of the church business, we've
destroyed our value system and replaced it with *nothing*.
