Money Is Like Manure

Like I have mentioned before hunters spend money and even though times are tough avid hunters like myself still find ourselves skimping on other expenditures in order to have a great hunting season. But while the spending figures are impressive they become even more so through the consideration of "ripple" or multiplier effects. This is basically the modern economist's way of saying that money is like manure.And this is due to how the more money spread around the more good it does. Because each dollar spent by a hunter increases another person's income, enabling that person (or business) to spend more. Which in turn increases income for somebody else. The process continues as wide series of ripples through local regional, and national economies until the spreading fragments of the original dollar become so small they can no longer be measured. So for those fellow hunters out there I just thought I would let you know another way we help the economy continue to turn in tough times as these.

Have Gun Will Travel Even if the Economy is Shot

Since hunting season is underway many believe that this may have an although small but good effect on the economy. So what does this mean? In all honesty it means that we are addicts who are willing to give up anything but the outdoors. But in this case being an addict is a good thing because hunters like myself are playing a part in the attempt to save what is left of the economy. I know that just what I have spent this year so far just to get ready for this years hunting season is well over 1000 dollars, and that only includes clothes and ammunition. And once my family and I reach our hunting destination I am sure we will drop at least another thousand or two in gas, food, licenses and what ever else. Now if you think about it there are many thousands of people like myself out there who will be dropping a pretty penny to hunt this year. To many this may not mean much but to those stores like Bass Pro and Cabela's and the other stores we will hit along the way this is the economic help that they have been asking for. And who would have thought that us "cruel and unusual hunters" would actually play a part in helping the economy. But the question that remains in my mind is where all the anti-hunters spend their money. Because it only seems like they are worried about spending their money on preventing us from hunting instead of investing it into the economy.
