Most of us have been on this journey: the one that starts in a stand with dad, ready to shoot whatever walks out; and makes the full cycle to where we eventually sit, as a dad, excited to see the next generation eagerly throw themselves into the life of a deer hunter. Even as that young kid, who probably can\u2019t spell conservation<\/a>, we\u2019re imbibing ourselves into the lifestyle that\u2019ll allow us to make full use of that word.<\/p>

Regardless of whether you\u2019re the antsy little ball of camouflage squirming around the shooting house or the stoic old vet trying to keep movement to a minimum, you\u2019re playing a hand in conservation. As we mentioned in a previous blog<\/a>, think of this industry as a giant economic machine that provides thousands of jobs pertaining to the manufacturing and sale of outdoor products, of which there are aplenty – shotguns, rifles, optics<\/a>, ammunition, bows and accessories, arrows, broadheads, ATVs, clothing, the list goes on. The outdoor industry supports nearly 700,000 jobs, even when unemployment is still fairly high. So even if you\u2019re not old enough to understand the concept of what makes up an economy, you\u2019re still doing your job just by showing up in a miniature camo onesie.<\/p>
