First, in each and every recessionary period since 1960, hunting and fishing rates have increased as measured by license purchases. Secondly, prior to the President becoming the greatest American gun salesman since Sam Colt, the industry, State Fish and Game agencies, and sportsmen groups, recognized the decline and started work through a number of groups to expand on excellent work begun 10 years ago by NSSF. Finally, increased concerns about our commercial food chain have brought a number of very unlikely earthy-crunchy types to the hunting and fishing world. It's good news in many ways.
