I hear there's deer in Mexico - or, how to solve the border problem

Picked this off a blog:
The state of Wisconsin has gone an entire deer hunting season without someone getting killed. That’s great. There were over 600,000 hunters. Allow me to restate that number. Over the last two months, the eighth largest army in the world – more men under arms than Iran; more than France and Germany combined – deployed to the woods of a single American state to help keep the deer menace at bay. But that pales in comparison to the 750,000 who are in the woods of Pennsylvania this week. Michigan ‘s 700,000 hunters have now returned home. Toss in a quarter million hunters in West Virginia , and it is literally the case that the hunters of those four states alone would comprise the largest army in the world. America will forever be safe from foreign invasion of troops with that kind of home-grown firepower.

I'm a bit curious about the # of hunters out there. I don't, but know a lot who do. Are these #'s accurate? And, just think if we sent them to the border!

Yeah, but how many of them can even hit the broadside of a barn at 20 paces??

Or hit any kind of moving target (answer: few, unless we start talking about bird hunters, who are fewer in number)

Ask the deer.

I'm thinking volume. The ratio of bullets fired to opponents killed is always very high (unless you're a Marine).
