There should be two books on every hunter’s work bench. One is this year’s game and licensing booklet. The second is, The Politically Incorrect Guide to Hunting.

It’s not a “How-To” book, but it is just as valuable. If every angler/hunter/trapper in North America read this book we would be able to intelligently counter and discuss the antics of anti-hunting groups and the science that backs effective wildlife management.

When you delve into the books pages, you find scattered through it facts (with sources) about our pastime in the outdoors. Facts like:

• You are about twice as likely to be attacked by a grizzly when you’re camping in National Parks, where hunting is NOT allowed

• Californians kill more cougars now than before hunting was banned. They annually use permits to kill between 100 – 200 cougars, which is MORE than hunters were killing when hunting was allowed

• Deer kill ten times more people each year than sharks, cougars, bears and alligators combined, and more people than all commercial airline, train, and bus accidents combined

• Hunters provided 1600 tons(12,800,000 servings) of venison and other big game for soup kitchens and food pantries

This book will facilitate sportsman to enter the arena with PETA, HSUS and others and competently shut-down the hype spewed out by the previously listed groups. Continue Reading

In a local Huntsville newspaper I started to read an article that appeared to be sharing some information regarding the benefits of feeding deer during the winter.
