Good Hunting: An Interview

By Bill Steigerwald

Ted Nugent isn't the only guy in America who's not afraid to say hunting

is good for the country. Frank Miniter -- the award-winning editor of

American Hunter magazine who's stalked game on five continents -- has

written "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Hunting." The latest in

Regnery Publishing's "PIG" series, it defends hunting from its

know-nothing media critics in the big cities and spells out how it

benefits conservation, cuts crop damage and saves human lives.

Q: What's your book about and why did you write it?

A: I've been reporting on these things for more than a decade. I worked

digging into what hunting actually does, I found all these facts that

the mainstream media are not telling. I see hunting as the conservative

environmental movement, actually. When you get really deep into it,

that's what hunters really are. They're doing so much good, but that

word just isn't getting out there. I thought this should be in a book

and it should be out there for people to completely grasp, so I went to

Regnery with the idea and it worked....
