Why I Hunt - Part One

Most folks new to the concept of hunting are unfamiliar with the link between hunters and their passion for waterfowl and wildlife conservation. They are often unaware that wildlife conservation groups across North America were founded and built by hunters. It was those hunters that were bound and determined to give back what they had taken from Mother Nature. Its important to teach new hunters the fundaments of hunting (gun safety, ethics, calling and decoys), but its also essential that they understand our connection to conservation, and the importance of giving back.

So, what drives you out of bed at 5:00am? Is it to watch the bird activity and the sunrise? Is it bonding time with friends and family? Perhaps its to watch your dog retrieve, or the thought of a tasty mallard roasting in your oven? If any or all of the above sparked your interest, I suppose the next question is, are you fulfilling your responsibility as a hunter, and what are you doing to give back? These are the questions we ask all brand new hunters of all ages that come out to experience first hand what duck hunting is all about!

@beaelliott you sould probably re-read that comment it makes no scense at all...

p.s every aspect of hunting is awsome! and you cant judge something until youve tried it! that would be like me saying i disagree with politics before i fully unstand what its about and how it works.. some of these "save the planet" people need to remove their head from up their own arses once in a while!!!

Just wondering... At first you say that hunting is necessary to raise money for conservation - Yet there are all these costly programs that are spent initiating new hunters... What if you just took the original money and used it for true conservation without the killing? Seems to make perfect economic sense to me.

If we all had to depend on hunting from day one, there would be a lot less people and a lot less animal cruelty.
