Title: Something to think about, the World's Largest "Army"....
Post by: Thor on December 22, 2010, 09:13:31 PM
The World's Largest Army.  America's Hunters? 
 
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!

You're a little late for deer season. :-)

I think the entire state of Michigan closes down on September 1st.

That many people hunt!? Holy crap, I didn't expect the numbers to be that high for a single state.

The more deer meat there is to be had the better  :)

I grew up in Wisconsin.  The first day of hunting season is like a holiday there.

With that many hunters, they can kill many rabbits.  :-)

With these stats alone it proves why the Liberals want guns taken away. Without those guns it would be far easier to take over the US.
