People are so quick to blame hunters for the market-hunting era… but the truth is, the entire population was responsible. Hunters were only one cog in a massive economic machine. How come no one ever points the finger at the furriers, the restaurant owners, the fashion designers, the makers of felt hats, or, most importantly, the customers whose money drove the whole system? Blaming the hunters alone is like blaming Amazon warehouse workers for the entire consumer economy. It’s lazy, it’s convenient, and it ignores reality.

The market-hunting era was powered by demand, by cities wanting cheap meat, by fashion trends built on feathers and fur, by industries that turned wildlife into profit long before conservation existed. Hunters were simply the labor force feeding a system the public funded. And when that system finally collapsed, it wasn’t the general public who rebuilt wildlife… it was hunters. We’re the ones who pushed for regulations, seasons, bag limits, habitat protection, and science-based management. We’re the ones who put our money into conservation through licenses, taxes, and stamps.

So here’s the real truth:
Todays hunters don’t deserve blame for destroying America’s wildlife, we are removed from the economic machine that destoyed it. The sins of the past are not ours but we can claim the legacy of those that rebult what was destroyed because we continue to rebuild and work towards better habit and better wildlife.

As is his custom, Mike from Ohio was back again for a couple days of bird hunting, this time in the Adirondacks. We enjoyed a couple of beautiful cool fall days, which were much easier on man and dog than the previous hot weather. Ginny is usually his good luck charm, and she did have several mannerly grouse finds, but Pedey was the dog that accounted for birds in Mike's vest this time. Be active, be healthy!

Kady did a great job pointing a grouse on a training run in the Adirondacks yesterday. She's 10 months old, sired by Ch Gratitude, owned by the Giza family of CT, and developing on wild birds
