The Hunt Never Ends....
Hey everyone,

I have been doing some research this week for one of my classes here at I.S.U. on Hunters and Anti-hunters. I checked out a few books from the library and found some of the stuff I read quite interesting. One of the books I read was wrote by Forrest Wood. The book was published in 1997. It is titled The Delights and Dilemmas of Hunting. Here is what Wood wrote, as shown in the book, about the average hunter and the average anti-hunter.

The Average Anti-Hunter:
Characteristics of an anti-hunter mostly female, live in urban areas, less experience raising animals, not much involvement with animals besides owning pets, and among the LOWEST KNOWLEDGE of animals of any group.

The Average Hunter:
The average hunter is a white male, 42 years of age, lives in a small town or rural area in the middle of the United State (more than on either coast), has at least some college education, has a professional/managerial or services/labor job, and earns $43,120 per year. He hunts 7-10 days per year, primarily in his own state on land within 50 miles of his home.

Just something that I thought was interesting to share with all of you.....
 
7 to 10 days a year? That doesn't even qualify you for a weekend warrior.

Is this the same Forrest Wood that is the founder of Ranger Boats? I also heard the other day that the head of Arkansas' Fish and Wildlife is Forrest Wood. WOnder if it is all the same guy.
 
Ahh the magic of Google.

Forrest L. Wood is the founder of Ranger boats and currently the chairman of the Arkansas Fish and Game Commission. Same person.

Forrest Wood Jr. is the author of the book in question, he is a professor at a college in Mississippi. I was not able to ascertain if the two are related.
 
He was recently was recently a commisioner with the Game and Fish. This is an appointed position by the gov of 7 years. On the last year of your service, you are the chairman of the commision, but you are never the head of the Game and Fish, that would be the Director.

And no that is not the same Forrest Wood. That forrest wood is the one that is a professor at Southern Miss
Just a tidbit of info
