Hunting for the Sake of Meat

A recent survey of American hunters by the Responsive Management organization asked the question “what’s the single most important reason you hunt?”. More than 35% of the responses indicated that they primarily hunted for the meat. While the responses might not seem unusual, only 22% responded that way in 2006. Trophy hunting came in dead last at 1%.

There’s a major misconception about the purpose of trophy hunting. B&C supports the taking of trophies as a matter of big game management and scientific record. B&C has long supported selective hunting for mature animals that have already genetically contributed to overall herd health. Selective hunting also supports conservation and game management efforts when a balanced age structure within a given big game population is an objective of State wildlife managers.

Our record books are a standing testament as to the success of the North American Model for Wildlife Conservation, which was the result of the Boone and Crockett Club’s early efforts to establish conservation on this continent.

Printer-Ready Targets from DNR

The Department of Natural Resources shooting range webpage (www.michigan.gov/shootingranges) now has printer-ready targets to download before you go out to sight-in your firearms. Under the “Next Steps” header on the webpage, click on the “Print Targets” link.  There are two bulls-eye targets and a turkey patterning target available.

A big thank you goes to John Brooks of Ortonville, who provided the bulls-eye targets for his fellow shooters. There’s three weeks left before the firearm deer season opener, so head out to the DNR shooting ranges to ensure a clean shot. This week’s cool weather is supposed to warm up to the high-40s to the mid-50s in the next week.
