According to this article most hunters believe in Global Warming, the Clean Water and Air acts, and are willing to vote for Ind or Democrats. If you read the Community section on this forum it seems the Republican's are loudest, but possibly do not represent the majority of our hunting community? Since Dems or Ind more often protect public lands it makes sense to me that some of you would vote that way, but still, I was a bit surprised. Maybe as a group we should focus on hunting and fishing issues instead of political parties and constant complaining about how bad our country is? Or are things really that bad for some of you?
This is not about personal happiness or the economic ladder. This is about the Law of the Land which rules and will continue to rule our lives for or against.
That is the choice. Hunting is but a grain of sand on the beach of life that is being eroded everyday.

Liberal leftist dems work at trying to take them away...... "resistance is futile" is their mantra.....
What kind of hunters ever even consider supporting an anti-gun, PETA, ban hunting on fed lands, introduce wolves with no management over human management, etc. etc. ??? Not even taking into account all the attack on our other constitutional rights, what hunter in his right mind would side with that agenda??? My guess is someone not really a hunter..... a PZE actually.....
Let me guess..... public sector? Union? Applied for a grant to study one eyed trouser trout? The OP is a false premise. extrapolating a result based on nothing but conjecture and opinion. Have any real polls or studies to support such a claim? Or just on a fishing expedition.... oh... are fishermen hunters????

(I tried to add the link to make it easier, but kept getting the message, "Please match the requested format")
Actually that's not quite accurate; perhaps, as Mint recommended above you should drill down to the details via the link provided to the 31-page complete report. There you'd find the majority of respondents (50%) identified themselves as having a conservative ideology.
Further, when reading the full report the first item listed under "Observations and Key findings" is the following:
"1. Hunters and anglers tend to be conservative, Republican and Independent and they vote. "
Not quite the spin you put on that statistic in your OP.
Also, I would never recommended making the assumption that everyone votes along party lines as you seemed wont to do in your OP, citing the demographic breakdown of the three groups. Again, researching the full report paints a different picture, one that more accurately reflects the reality that people do not uniformly, and without fail vote strictly on party lines.
With regard to global warming; incomplete wording can often produce misleading results. You see, there is global warming (part of climate change which is a completely natural process that has occurred since the Earth was born) and then there is anthropogenic global warming (AGW) which is the man-made global warming myth foisted upon the civilized world and which has not stood up to real, honest scientific scrutiny.
Absent clarification of specifics the question as posed is as relevant to mindset as asking hunters if they believe the sun rises in the East and having the majority answer in the affirmative.
It's the details that matter.
If you read the Community section on this forum it seems the Republican's are loudest, but possibly do not represent the majority of our hunting community?
Again with the broad, sweeping (not to mention incorrect) generalizations. Conservatives have often been the most vocal on this forum and by and large on matters of principle that should be as ingrained in the majority of patriotic Americans as are their names. Loud is a better descriptor of the drive-by trolls who attempt to be disruptive, often by mindlessly regurgitating easily debunked bilge from intellect-devoid blogs and websites.
What doesn't surprise me any longer is the unending supply of these intellectual pygmies that seem to pour forth from the www like cockroaches in a slum lord tenament home. The good news is that just like light to the cockroach the light of truth quickly repels the invading horde, with the added bonus of the amusement their infantile pratter provides (while it lasts via the grace of the moderators).
Eagerly awaiting the next "astute" observation.
Have a nice day.
I just made that up. I'm guessing that a group of efeminate male makeup artists might read that statement and roll their eyes but I dont know any or hang out with any so I cant be sure. I do know and hang out with a lot of hunters and have been around them my whole life so excuse me while I roll my eyes at the OP.
I'll support federal public lands until I see a good reason not to, but that doesn't mean I stand with or would vote for loonies. I cringe when people would vote for loonies based on a single issue alone like that example.

On the other hand, I haven't heard a single one of them say they are voting for Hilary this time around...
sloppy manipulation of polls and thinly veiled political agenda, at worst
nwf looks like it's built on and around one thing, goreble hockey MBPigism
oops, forgot the ??s
That statement is correct. The remainder of your diatribe is questionable at best, including the straw man claim about the NRA. But truth has never been near you nor you near the truth.

Then please be so kind as to list all of the posters here who have posted under multiple false registrations, coming back after being tossed for violating the forum rules. Please be so kind as to list all of the multiple false registrations by posters name so that we can begin to determine the moral equivalence between you and them.
Of course we all know there will be no CF regulars on that list don't we Paul? We all know you are the sole poster who has openly flouted the forum rules on close to 3 dozen occasions now, don't we? Your words ring hollow Paul; your actions make a mockery of any claim about treating others as you would like to be treated, that is unless you want to go on record as saying you want to be regularly lied to, mocked for your beliefs, ridiculed at every opportunity and never accorded a scintilla of respect.
Something lost on a few here.
If there were such a thing as a Bowsite hypocrisy meter you would have snapped the needle off with that remark. It appears some here have underestimated your hubris; the colossal gall it took to post that statement surpasses that attributed to one Donald J. Trump. It can now be truly stated that you are without shame.
Oh well, you've added to your "without list":
without integrity
without honor
without virtue
without values
without courage
without principles
without morality
without decency
You are the penultimate liberal Paul; while railing about perceived wrongs in others you miss the glaring ones in yourself.
You are the least qualified person to pass judgment on people I've ever met. It is you who are "lost" Paul.
Why not just make it official and "get lost"......
