The world's largest army?

"The world's largest army? America 's hunters!!

I don't spend my fall weekends tramping around the woods in pursuit of a buck, but a lot of my friends and neighbors do.

This blogger adds up all the hunters in just a handful of states, and comes to a striking conclusion: The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That's great. There were over 600,000 hunters.

Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth largest army in the world - more men under arms than Iran ; more than France and Germany combined - deployed to the woods of a single American state to help keep the deer menace at bay.

But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week. Michigan 's 700,000 hunters have now returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia , and it is literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.

His point? America will forever be safe from foreign invasion with that kind of home-grown firepower.

Hunting -- it's not just a way to fill the freezer. It's a matter of national security."

Sounds great,I did not know that America has that many weekend warriors.

I wonder how many there would be if deer would shoot back.....

Add to the fact that,, as we are able to carry concealed...the enemy will never know what he is up against. Some of us possess some rather interesting "hunting" equipment as well. 1000 yard capability, tactical night vision scopes, right down to.. in home defense shotguns with extended magazine tubes. Freedom to have the access to shooting sports, training and ranges will make us a very formidable army indeed if need be. Thanks to our men and women in uniform, fighting on the fronts and here as public servants, we should never have to become civil soldiers on this soil, but a great big THANK YOU to those folks for helping us keep that freedom open!

Plenty of ammo and a high rate of fire.
