I like fishing, but cannot decide whether hunting for deer etc is okay, because it isn’t as if we need to?
Plenty of meat is available in the shops, so why kill live game? In the past it was different, but do you think that shooting at clay pigeons and targets would be the right thing to do?
Look whats happened to the animals in Africa because of the greedy rich’s bloodthirsty “sport”.
Culling in some places makes sense–it goes on in Scotland at the Queens balmoral grounds. I’d like to hear your opinions, thanks.
I understand your deleima. But you have to look at hunting and fishing not just as a face value. What I mean by that is don’t look at hunting just at the one point of shooting and killing an animal, there is much more to a hunt than that. Similar with fishing don’t look at the single point of hooking the big one and reeling it in. There is much more involved.
Hunting involves the planning the scouting the analysis of your planning and scouting. Calling a deer or elk in can be just as rewarding as actually shooting the animal. Stalking an animal from some distance and being close enough to get a shot or potential shot with a bow i find is more rewarding than actually getting an animal. While being out in the field a person can have a relaxing time enjoying the great outdoors. Hunters can also see fluxuations in populations from year to year and can assist in restructuring and managing these resources.
Also hunters and anglers can be powerful voices with regards to conservation and management of the resources. They have a better idea what is going on out in the field. Personally I’d rather trust a representative from ducks unlimited to tell me soemthing about waterfowl than an anti hunter who just doesn’t want to see animals killed. True hunters and anglers want to see the traditions passed on to their next of kin so the invest many hours into protecting these privlages.
Now is the venision or fish neccesary for my survival, no but its a healthy alternative and its local and with people wanting to more ecological or eat more local foods well hunting and fishing is the way to go.
Hunting specifically is also a great management tool for problem wildlife. Setting up extra archery seasons in places with high deer populations can be benificial for the health of the heard as well as people’s property.
The problem with hunting and fishing is you have a few bad apples and everyone focuses on them. Logical people would see past this and know they are only bad apples and that the rest of the people enjoying these past times are responsible people.
Now your comment on african hunting and culling in scotland are out of context here. Afican hunting is not as regulated as those countries need tourist dollars. Here in North America its much more regulated and conservation is a big part now.
Hunting in North America is different than Africa or scotland socially and economically.
To recap, there is nothing wrong with hunting and fishing acutally it should be incouraged as it helps build ties to the outdoors with people who are becoming to city folk….By getting people into the outdoors they will realize what they are missing and will try to protect it more hopefullly. In all hunting is good management and protection of our natural resources
hope that helps
