From Serious, to funny, to emtional, this episode has it all!
Here's what's covered in this episode:
- What is the Pittman-Robert Act of 1937
- Why was is established?
- What was hunting like in the US in 1937?
- Stocking of Whitetail Deer (huh, hard to believe these days, but it actually happened)
- Alabama harvests more deer in a year today than the entire 1937 US whitetail population!
- Population of whitetail deer in Alabama 1937: 2000
- What is the tax on Guns and Ammo and what is it used for?
- What is the formula for Federal fish and game matching funds?
We also ask the question: Does the show Duck Dynasty increase gun and ammo sales?
Buying a gun or buying ammunition is an act of wildlife conservation that we either aren't aware of or take for granted.
