SESK: Stuff Everyone Should Know · sesk.info/hunt-greatest-threat

According to hunter education, what is the greatest threat to hunting in North America?

Hunters who behave badly, not anti-hunters.

  1. Hunters whose poor behavior gives hunting a bad image ✔
  2. People who oppose hunting
  3. A shortage of game animals

Why: Only a small share of people are anti-hunters. Most non-hunters approve of hunting for food, but they strongly dislike illegal, unsafe or unethical behavior. Slob hunters lose that support.

Huh, didn't know that: Surveys cited in hunter education show most North Americans approve of hunting, especially when the meat is eaten.

The dad joke
Why don't turkeys get invited to dinner parties? They use fowl language.
