Odd question for you hunters out there.
I'm sure that most hunters realize that there hobby depends on having a healthy environment where animals can have a place to reproduce and also live. I'm sure most hunters also enjoy the quiet of nature, the beauty of lakes, ponds, streams, etc. So, according to my logic, hunters (and fishermen) make the perfect environmentalists because they wish to preserve the natural environment that they enjoy.
The problem that I see is that environmental groups are probably all anti-hunting because they see hunters as a destructive force rather than a group that really wants to enjoy nature.
I could be totally off base here though. Perhaps hunting is only about the kill and hunters don't really "enjoy" nature per se.
