Postwar hunting fish plans seen by GI Joes survey
The SP Sportsman reports a 40 percent potential postwar role for hunting and fishing among 1,505 veterans from 37 states. Illinois hunting licenses rose 10 percent during wartime, while funds and plans for public grounds and restoration face delays due to manpower and material shortages. The piece notes regional preferences for land, fishing, and conservation projects and highlights bids to lease federal land along the Mississippi for recreation, arguing for GI Joes to access such lands in peacetime.
