Hunting has been an important human activity for thousands
of years. Historically, it has been essential to survival, and it
continues to be in remote areas of the U.S. and other countries. Additionally,
millions of people enjoy its many social, economic, and ecological
benefits.
Along
with approximately 17 million American hunters and many national conservation
organizations, are working to preserve the American hunting tradition
for future generations.
Managed hunting is a beneficial use of renewable wildlife resources
and in fact a necessary management practice to maintain a proper balance
among many species and their habitat. Hunting is essential to the
success of wildlife management.
In the early 1900's it was the hunter who realized the destructive
nature of unmanaged market hunting and the hunter was the first to
do something about it by providing the public will and the funds necessary
for developing North America's successful system of wildlife management
and conservation.
Today,
hunters contribute millions of dollars each year toward wildlife management
and conservation projects. As a lawful and responsible hunter you
have much to be proud of.
