Here's a new twist on the  firearms issue.

Doctors:
1 The number of doctors in  Canada is  700,000
2. Accidental deaths caused by physicians per year are  120,000
3. Accidental deaths per physician is 17.14%
Statistics  courtesy of the Canadian Dept of Health & Human Services

Guns:
1.  The number of guns owned in Canada is  80,000,000 (yes that's 80
Million)
2. The number of accidental gun  deaths per year, all age groups, is 1,500
3. The number of accidental  deaths per gun owner is 0.001875%
Statistics courtesy of the RCMP

So  statistically, doctors are approximately 9,000 times more dangerous
Than  gun owners.

Remember, guns don't kill people, doctors do.

FACT: NOT  EVERYONE HAS A GUN, BUT ALMOST EVERYONE HAS AT LEAST ONE  
DOCTOR.

Please alert your friends to this alarming threat. We must  ban doctors Before this gets completely out of hand!!!
Out of concern for  the public at large, I have withheld statistics on Lawyers for fear the shock would cause people to panic and seek medical Attention. Then we would  be in real trouble.

DENVER - National Park Service employees and authorized agents will be permitted to kill up to 200 elk every year in Rocky Mountain National Park as part of a program announced Tuesday to control the growing herd of about 3,100 animals.

The National Park Service also detailed plans for fencing and other control measures in the $6 million, 20-year population management plan that has taken four years to complete.

Two conservation groups said they will sue the Park Service to block the plan, which they criticized as letting "politics and timidity triumph over science and common sense."

By a vote of 79-14, the U.S. Senate Friday passed its version of the Federal Farm Bill. Quail Forever (QF) supports the Farm Bill passed by the Senate, recognizing it as a strong foundation for conservation.

"We applaud U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry Chairman Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Ranking Member Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) in helping craft a bill that's strong on conservation," said Dave Nomsen, QF's Vice President of Government Affairs, "This Senate action is very good news in that it supports achieving a new Farm Bill early next year, diminishing the chances of extending the existing bill."

This site has been a ton of fun for me to create and each and every day I get to meet some wonderful people chasing their passions in the outdoor world.  Bo and Melissa Spencer are just the newest wonderful people who contacted me to talk about their new line of turkey calls.  Each of the calls are named after the family and it sounds like they have a wonderful family.  These are great looking slate calls that are going to be collectors items someday.

Go check them out at:  Three Little Birds Calls

Descriptions for each of the calls are below: 

I have had the pleasure of going hunting with Max Rowe and his father and wife in Saskatchewan.  They filmed my very first hunt aired on television and I had one of the greatest times ever in camp and in the stands with Max and his family.  Max and Stacey are first class folks with a commitment to conservation, youth and hunting that is very real.  Meeting Max has been a blessing in my life and I am proud to bring you 20 questions with him about the outdoors.  Max Rowe will be offering 3 different seminars for the Nation's Outdoor Sportsmen's Show:

There are some people whom you admire in this life and there are people you look up to in life and Jim Zumbo is one of those people whom I look up to.  Promoting the Nation's Outdoor Sportsmen's Show has been an opportunity of a lifetime for me and I had the opportunity to book Jim Zumbo and I took that opportunity very seriously.  Talking to him on the phone and sending this interview to him was and has been a pleasure.

Jim Zumbo has done a tremendously great service in promoting conservation and hunting throughout the country and I hope you all enjoy this interview. Jim is a true conservation Hero!
