When we don’t have feathers on the brain or antlers on the brain there are a few other things we constantly think about. One of those other things is money. And it's not that we have a lot to think about either. But just a mention of money and you have Washington’s attention especially when there is $76 billion in play. A report released last week by the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation stated $76 billion is the yearly amount some 34 million hunters and anglers spend on hunting and fishing. That is a hell of a lot of snelled hooks and #7 shotshells. The Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation teased out the data and reports that the spending for America’s hunters and anglers is greater than the revenues of Microsoft, Google, eBay and Yahoo! combined. Let that number sink in for a minute. We are a force to be reckoned with and our state’s policy makers can’t afford to not listen to our concerns. Our presence is too great to be ignored.
