Years ago I saw Ted Nugent doing a interview and he was asked about his recent trip to Africa and his baboon hunt while there. He said that baboons are nasty and are like the Bloods and Crips of Africa and had no problem killing them.
The “tolerant” left in action.
wrote Fischer an email asking him to resign “to shield the commission as an institution and hunting as a legitimate tool of wildlife management from the harm that is sure to come.”
Except that's exactly what Fish and Game does. It determines the number of a given species, say deer, elk, or bears, in a given area and determine what that number should be to keep the species healthy as a whole. That's how they decide how many tags to issue in any given year for hunting.
I personally don't see how anyone could enjoy killing a bear but intellectually I know they can over populate making it hard on all (black) bears in an area. That's why we see them coming down out of their forests into human populated area (like Phoenix) to look for food.
No one wants to see a healthy plant and animal life more than hunters. Not even conservationists. Hunters want to be able to come back year after year to enjoy nature. Most leave their camping and hunting sites (and surrounding area) better than how they found them. It's their way of giving back.
