Wisconsin hunters support wildlife efforts – by drinking beer!
From the Outdoor News Daily
MILWAUKEE – Since its introduction in 1903, Miller High Life has joined countless hunting trips throughout the United States, providing high-quality refreshment as hunters swap stories after a day in the woods, field or marsh. This fall, Miller High Life is donning its own blaze orange attire and hunting-themed packaging to make sure consumers are properly equipped for their post-hunt celebrations.
The hunt for the High Life begins Sept. 1, as the limited-edition packages hit store shelves in select markets throughout the United States*. Proceeds from the sale of the hunting-themed packaging, available in 24 and 30-pack cans, will contribute to Miller High Life’s continued support of Whitetails Unlimited, Pheasants Forever and the National Wild Turkey Federation.
Miller blaze orange beer can “Miller High Life has been closely associated with the outdoors and hunting for more than 100 years, so this initiative is truly a reflection of many of our consumers, and a way to acknowledge their support of Miller High Life,” said High Life senior brand manager Kevin Oglesby. “Plus, now it will be even easier to spot a can of Miller High Life in a hunter’s crowded refrigerator.”
The High Life hunting packaging is scheduled to remain on store shelves through October, but supplies may vary from market to market.
* High Life hunting packaging is available in select markets in all states except for AK, CA, CT, GA, HI, MA, NH and NV.
I thought this was really dumb on Miller’s part. Why support the stereotype of hunters drinking while they hunt and shoot guns?
If Miller wants to show support for the hunting community, fund some shooting ranges, or support some organizations that support hunting. That would do a lot more good then creating some blaze orange beer cans.

Actually, if you read the story, you’ll see that they are supporting hunting organizations.
