In the world of hunting and a fair game there are an uncountable number of everyday men, women, and children that love to hunt and fish. None the less that is how our for fathers founded the land we now live on, but at a rapidly growing rate the amount of people who are completely against living off the land are almost to accomplish their goal. There has been an uphill battle against people who want to take that freedom from the rather average American.
