Agree with you 100% DMT except if someone really needs the food for their family whatever it takes to fill the freezer...

Quote While i do respect the stalking, one can stalk with a gun as well.
You can also stalk with a camera and knot hurt anything.

No, how about crawling on your belly for 300 meters to crest a knoll and hit a target that's not alive? Maybe you eat everything you kill Ron, but many don't, and that's wrong.
And culling the herd, flock, or whatever? What happened before humans were armed? Yes, some animals were killed, but they didn't destroy or decimate our ecosystem obviously.

Merely an assumption on my part, as I stated upthread.
This is regarding the killing of bears, as per the OP.
Read what I wrote first please. :)

My mom was a secretary at Safari Club International. None of us hunt shite, it was just a decent job for her. I used to go to the conventions as a side job sort of thing in college, they are huge expos of everything related to hunting. I helped with the auctions--they would auction like $100,000 shotguns, wildlife art and extravagant safaris. Me and another guy were in charge of organizing the live auctions and getting all the crap to the various venues and then taking it out on stage during the auction. Guns, huge taxidermy pieces, art, etc. I remember cruising around Las Vegas in the back of a U-Haul with a stuffed rhino... Crazy! I saw G. Bush senior speak a couple of times and Stormin' Norman as well, it's a high rolling crowd.
Anyway, at one of the conventions the President of Botswana spoke and said hunting basically saved the animals in his country because it gave what are viewed as dangerous interlopers an economic value they otherwise don't have. Now the guy obviously knew his audience but that's what he said.

Did you read it, Ron? I think that Heather did a good job discussing many of the common talking points that hunters use to justify their "sport."
My guess is that you didn't read it...

I don't see why it matters so much to you Dingus what others are doing. Hunting with dogs or without. Same same so what? Fill out a "my butt is butt hurt" form Dingus and find someone who cares what you think about hunters.

It's like "kill em all!"
The natives hunted the buffalo for 13,000 yrs and then our relatives came and killed them off for "sport" in short order . I quess that is why they have to have game wardens. Now you can only have a little bit of fun and only kill a few!
