ccavacini Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 What people don't understand is this is something that we only have in America. There is no other country in the world where the ordinary citizen can go out and enjoy hunting and fishing. There's no other nation in the world where that happens. And it's very much a part of our heritage. Norman Schwarzkopf Link to post Share on other sites
