2013 Year of the Hunter
In 2013, the Sporting Shooters’ Association of Australia is celebrating the hard work our hunters do behind the scenes by telling their story through the SSAA’s 2013 Year of the Hunter.
Hunters are the people who manage wildlife on their own properties, volunteer their time and resources to help other people, participate in government-run wildlife management programs and recognise hunting as their occupation. Without the hard work of hunters, our vegetation would be more depleted and our landscape would be more eroded than it already is. Our nation’s farmers would struggle to produce crops and stock for food supplies, and our biodiversity would further suffer. It is these benefits, and the many more that active hunters give to our society, that the SSAA will be promoting.
SSAA National President Bob Green said that with more than 80 per cent of SSAA members being hunters, the Year of the Hunter is a celebration that would raise awareness within the general public of the work our Association and our members do for our country.
