Loading ...At the turn of the century, 1900, practically all wildlife was extinct, because of “market hunting” business. Free supply all you can take. Theodor Roosevelt put a stop to it, and established hunting rules. So all the species have been coming back over time.
Where are the most eagles living? The largest North American breeding populations are in Alaska and Canada, but there are also significant bald eagle populations in the Great Lakes states, Florida, the Pacific Northwest, the Greater Yellowstone area, and the Chesapeake Bay region.
Supposedly the deer population was down to one million in 1900, and by the 1960s up to 50 million, probably a lot more now. So many they are a big problem, a nuisance on parts of LI. NY. I’m only 35 miles from NYC and I see rabbits in my yard. I heard they are spotting coyotes around NY City.
Nobody goes hunting anymore in my area. After 1970 and gold cut off $, jobs left, wages lagged and various propaganda started. The younger population has been taught to not go hunting, its very bad the media said.
The media told all my friends and relatives, Guns are bad, You don’t need an assault rifle, Hunters are mean killers, we don’t want rust belt jobs, we don’t dirty polluting factory production jobs. And nobody needs a gas guzzling behemoth Chevrolet or GMC SUV. You are a bad person if you own one. You are causing higher gasoline prices. You are polluting the air.
I don’t believe or trust anything they say. “We are winning in Vietnam, we just need more time.” Yeah right, 12 years later tell me another. I can go on forever but why bother?
