Anyone else annoyed by the fact that rock climbing and backpacking are in the same category as hunting?

I always love hearing gun shots in the backcountry. Very soothing...Anyone else annoyed by the fact that rock climbing and backpacking are in the same category as hunting?
well all three of those can be classified as ';outdoors'; so no... it really doesn't bother me.Anyone else annoyed by the fact that rock climbing and backpacking are in the same category as hunting?
nope
It should be very soothing to you...Who do you think pays for the maintenance of those areas? ...Everything hunters use is taxed, those taxes go specifically for those things you enjoy...Every rifle, pistol, box of ammunition, license, stamp and tag, either is taxed or ALL of the fee goes to conservation...That amounts to many BILLIONS of dollars per year...





If you're backpacking or rock climbing in a national park I don't think you are hearing any ';gun shots'; ...I backpack/ day hike/ camp/ kayak and in 40+ years have never heard one shot fired in a national park...If you're on private, public use or conservation land what do you expect!





We have many millions of acres of national park off limits to firearms. I'm willing to share a little of this countries wilderness, are you?
