World's largest army, never thought of this.

The world's largest army... America's hunters!

A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion:

There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .

Allow me to restate that number.. Over the last several months, Wisconsin's hunters became the eighth largest
army in the world..

More men under arms than in Iran. More than in France and Germany combined.

These men deployed to the woods of a single American state to hunt with firearms, and no one was killed.

That number pales in comparison to the 750,000 who hunted the woods of Pennsylvania and Michigan's 750,000 hunters, all of whom have now returned home.

Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia, and don't forget the 1,169,667 in Texas, so it literally establishes the fact that the hunters of those five states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.

The 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.

That's why all enemies, foreign and domestic, want to see us disarmed.

Food for thought when next we consider gun control.

Gun control is not about guns; it is about CONTROL.

Heard that one many times before, but it's certainly worth hearing again.

Those are impressive numbers. Had no idea it was that large. Thanks for posting.

With a heavy emphasis on the fact that all (or nearly all) returned home safe.

Its obvious how badass we Americans our when you see the devastation we created during the civil war. Highest death toll of any war right? Don't F with America.

AMEN to that! I am a hunter/gun owner and proud of it. Thanks for posting this!

That warms the heart for sure~ Not to mention the people with guns that don't hunt.

I dont hunt animals, as long as the grocery store is open.

But I do hunt.
