If it comes to war....the hunters of four U.S. states alone would comprise the largest army in the world.

LETS HERE FROM YOUR NECK OF THE WOODS..I like target shooting..in socal!

er what are they going to eat / drink ? logistics is more important than numbers

And they all can shoot a nats ass of a horse at 200 meters.

Illinois where the idiots from chicago go to southern illinois to deer hunt and shoot cows and horses thinking they are deer..

I do not know how many deer hunters there are in Illinois.

The "deer menace"

Plus most hunters are independent and know how to survive out in the wild.

They're in Wisconsin.. what do you think they're going to drink?! BEER!

And yes, I'm from Wisconsin. I personally don't hunt, I prefer gardening.

"How do most people view animals and behave towards them? The way they exploit certain species is really disgusting. They will not shrink from any kind of cruelty to obtain their flesh, their fur, their hide, their horns or any other part of their body.

But humans are doomed to pay a very high price for their cruelty to animals. The causes of wars may appear to be only political, economic and so on, but in fact they are also the consequence of all the slaughtering of animals that humans are guilty of. The law of justice, which is implacable, forces them to pay with their own blood for the blood they have shed through killing animals. How many millions of gallons of blood shed on earth cry out for vengeance from heaven! And as this blood turns to vapour it attracts a multitude of larvae and lower entities from the astral world, poisoning the earth's atmosphere and perpetuating conflicts. Humans want peace, or so they say, but so long as they continue to slaughter animals they will have war. This is a truth that is not known and may not be accepted. But not accepting it will not change anything: humans will be treated the way they treat animals. "

you eat tree rats ( squirrel ) Deer,Birds,dogs,cats,rabbits, herbs, anything that has nutrients.

water is easy to get if you know how to survive in the wilderness. place a plastic bag over a tree branch with leaves that is in the sunlight and after a few hours condensation will collect in the bag.

streams do not dry up totally, there is always moisture trapped below the rock.

deer.

interesting article here on what the military thought on how a coup might play out in America. One of it's considerations was the hunters and armed citizens and concludes a coup would fail if the citizens didn't support it. [link to www.harpers.org]

Exactly what the Founding Fathers hoped for.

Lol!!

Hunters = Fatass rednecks in camouflage drinking moose piss beer

What a stupid comment i mean WTF these are people who
want to be able to be able to live of the land they probably know the land better than anyone else an i promise
you they know how to find water.

yeah you may be right saying logistics are important but the fact is most hunters can or at the very least want to learn everything they can about providing for themselves
and family and that STUPID POSTER = LOGISTICS

And you have to take into account just how inept the gov is... Nice amored trucks, just dont try and stop fast at 60mph [link to www.youtube.com]
LOL!!!!!!!!

Dont froget the troops...Sgt opens UNDERWATER hatch!!
How to sink a $500,000 terror response boat...LOL

Lots in Canada too

are you serious?there hunters and they know the land.They can all track,most can set snares and trap sand they are mostly dead on shots....Good luck w anything short of carpet bombing,any invading forces or martial law troops will need lots of luck.

I don't hunt, I've never killed anything. Walking around the woods with a gun and drinking beer sounds fun though. I'm in!

I'm in Michigan.

Dont let the high tech scare you. History proves it doesnt work...you cant kill flys with a sledge hammer!!!...you always miss the fly and end up doing a bunch of damage at a high cost to yourself....Afganistan...Destroyer of Empires...un winable. In Veitnam the VC won because they had the WILL and RIGHT on there side...SKS's, AK47's, RPG's, rice balls and bicycles beat B-52's, helocopters, and agent orange!
The afgans are winning and they dont even have a jungle to hide in...nothing but dirt and drones...Low tech with the WILL and RIGHT on there side will beat high tech every time
Heres your high tech Big Old Fail of the day!!! [link to www.youtube.com]
Remember just how inept the people are that are behind the curtain...

It takes more than guns to make an army.

Too bad the dumb bastards would rather shoot each other over table scraps first.

Oh yeah??? i say we have technology that could end the nonsense over there instantly

And they would certainly use it on redneckw if it came down to it. Pride kills fast

But no one wins if the nukes fly...moron! Same in nam' if they had nuked N vietnam, china and russia would have nuked us...HEY! alot like now!!! TPTB had better watch want they wish for...this wont end well for anybody...

I guess I'm an army of ONE because the only thing I shoot is my load..

The Afghans "Are Winning" because the coward we have as President WON'T LET THE TROOPS SHOOT BACK until it's already to late.

The best way to prevent a fire-fight, is never let the enemy get close enough to shoot you!

Try visiting the area. If you're not a local and you act like an assclown then yeah people in WI probably won't be all that friendly. From what I've noticed living in a small community in Northern Wisconsin, people do seem to care about their neighbors. There are actually a lot of random acts of kindness, bartering is already present so it wouldn't be anything new to us, people are free with their knowledge about the land. Not that you won't find a bad apple, but there is a lot of good to the area and it's people as well.

I concur.

I concur.

Uh, no offense but pretty sure most of these outstanding hunters you speak of are actually fat couch potatoes trying to get away from the wife for a weekend and can barely climb a hill or see their feet over their beer gut let alone survive in the wilderness.

This thread brings the LOLs!
