Top 125 Trophy Counties in the U.S.

 GW:  Anti-hunting whackos are sure hate this post, but who cares?  Certainly not the real conservationists – hunters – who want, and ensure, that healthy, stable populations of game exist in the first place.

MISSOULA, Mont. (Oct. 30, 2012) In commemoration of its 125th anniversary, Boone and Crockett Club has released an historic list of the Top 125 trophy counties across the U.S.  The list is based on Boone and Crockett big-game records/trophy data going back to 1830 and long used by conservationists to gauge outstanding habitat, strong recruitment of game animals into older age classes, sustainable harvest objectives and other elements of sound wildlife management and fair-chase hunting.

Of Obama and the National Debt

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt  limit is a sign of leadership   failure. It is a  sign that the US Government cannot pay its own    bills. It is a sign that we now depend on  ongoing financial assistance   from foreign  countries to finance our Government’s reckless  fiscal   policies. Increasing America ‘s debt  weakens us domestically and   internationally.  Leadership means that, “the buck stops here.’    Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of  bad choices today onto the   backs of our children  and grandchildren. America has a debt   problem  and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve  better.”   ~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March    2006
