Ben Long making too much sense, once again

[Big Fin]

We are lucky to have as a Hunt Talk regular, a guy with the level head, common sense, and understanding of conservation history as has Ben Long. Ben continues to use his podium at Outdoor Life to remind us that conservation has not always been popular, is seldom easy, usually inconvenient, and always uncomfortable, even for a guy like Theodore Roosevelt.

Thanks for pushing the message, Ben.

Having well spoken people on large stages like (outdoor life,field and streem, oyoa and Peterson's) is the only way to prevail.

Thanks all. JohnCushman has just written the opening paragraph for my next blog post.

Who knew Cushman would one day be a published author?! I think we knew it was probably inevitable.

Great work Ben. Thank you for lending your talents and platform to the fight. We are lucky to have you.

We all know John speaks for us,from the heart. Or maybe he is just channeling us? He is deep.

Nice job Ben!

Awesome Ben! The real hero of Pelican Island was one lone guy who singlehanded guarded it and wrote Roosevelt repeatedly about the need to protect it. One man can make a difference, I believe his name was Paul Krueger.

Just did a google search, his name was Paul Kroegel. Worth looking up and reading about this hero of conservation!
