This is true but you can’t convince an anti hunter of it, I know I tried. She just looked at me tearfully and said “ you hate animals don’t you”.

True story.

Just reply, “I LOVE animals, especially when they’re right next to the mashed potatoes & peas!”

And then stand back.

Glad to. Compare areas that hunting pressure is present, and areas where hunting pressure isn't. Yellowstone is a great example of an area where hunting deer, elk, and moose is prohibited, so by allowing predators such as bears, mt lions, and wolves to hunt in those areas and the prey population does just fine. Now, lets look at areas where man can hunt. Less mule-deer, elk, and moose. Lets look at hunters. Very few hunters hunt predators, because the majority of hunters are out for meat and antlers, which predators don't provide. Predators aren't being hunted and hundreds of deer, elk, and moose are. The prey has a new predator. The reason why the wildlife biologist have come together to open a bear, wolf, and coyote season is to balance what other hunters have done. We admit, we are the other hunters that hunt for meat and antler, but we understand that in areas where we shot a couple wolves here and a couple bears there, brought some of our elk, moose, and mule-deer numbers back up. In areas like this, we won't even elk hunt this area because the herd that currently exist in this area is really struggling, as well as the mule deer and moose. Does that make sense?

Not a better example out there of a hunter being a conservationist than the above.

Some reports say that over 80% of the baby elk are being eaten by bear and that bear follow a herd and wait for a birth and then eat it.

Some folk say that this is what peta and ilk want, so few elk and deer thanks to the surging predator population they are **protecting** that the hunters no longer hunt them.

So then I want to send those stupid idiots a video like this one...

send this video to your friend who thinks hunting is worse than this
