Taking a Bullet for Conservation

by Jim Posewitz

Hunters & anglers deserve elected officials who appreciate America’s fish and wildlife as a wild free-ranging public resource to be managed as a public trust. “Taking a Bullet For Conservation,” uses the historical record to demonstrate that conservation reforms enacted a century ago will always be attacked by the exploiters of natural resources. The book will help the reader appreciate the significance of our American conservation ethic, while exposing a dark side of the political process - unchanged over a century. Historical parallels between century apart political campaigns suggests the need to vigorously defend outdoor values in every election process. It is how democracy works.

This quick read gives a good overview of America's journey from being almost exclusively a resource consumer to becoming more conservation-minded. It's a must read for hunters, fisherman and outdoors enthusiasts.

This book was a real let down, granted it was only 70 pages long it was not worth the time. Based on the title, it seemed as if this was going to be a reflection
on the 1912 Bull Moose Party platform TR ran with however it turned into this massive campaign to put conservation on a soap box. Yes conservation was part of TR's views but it wasn't why he created the Bull Moose Party.
