Never had a canoe accident, my airmattress on the other hand went down when the bayonet on the ar punched a hole in it. Couldn't find any in the lake, even as hard as I searched.

As a Wisconsin deer hunter being one of 600,000 people in the woods for our 10 day season puts us as the eight largest army in the world. Larger than Iran, France and Germany combined. But pales to Pennsylvania's 750,000 - Or Michigan's 700,000 deer hunters. And that's just the number that know how to shoot and gets together all at the same time.

Wow! Do you guys use double decker or side by side tree stands up there?

If you got near that many hunters around here in the woods someone is gonna get shot.

That's also only the known (licensed) Hunter's.
How about all of us landowners who don't need a "permission slip" to take game on our own property?

The only problem with the polls having inaccurate data is that policy makers and the anti-gunners use the lower numbers as a 'mandate' to move forward with their proposals etc.

I knew we had passed a point in society when I saw a man buying a Glock 19 and some ammo during covid, his wife would have never agreed to that as she's a flaming lefty. But he knew it was past time to be able to defend his wife and kids/self.

Lots of folks own something for protection, you wouldn't ever know it though.

I've talked with a few guys who, while they owned a few guns, the wife wasn't 'on-board' with it...and now the wives are on-board!

The northern half of Wisconsin is pretty much all woods or lakes.

Heh, with two minis mounted and (assuming on both sides) two 1200 rd ammo cans, looks like you've got about 30 seconds worth of ammo . . .

I wish I owned guns. Maybe one day. I just joined the forum for the entertainment.

I just posted the same… I am glad I am not that only non-gun owner here.

You better get on it. Apparently it's easier to get a gun than a book.

Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies.

I learn from the mistakes others make when they follow my advice...

Gun Ownership Twice as High as Previously Thought?

The "official" estimates are obviously low. How low is the question.
