Game animals don't live in a vacuum. 12 point bucks don't sit in rectangular display cases the rest of the
year, with little signs that say "Break Glass At The Open Of Deer Season". It's not more than I think,
Entrophy, it's what I expect.
Yes, I'm lucky, I survived to retirement age. I hunt predators and pest species all year long. But by putting
habitat and food back into the system, I ensure that I will have something to hunt in perpetuity. I already
mentioned that most hunter's licenses and fees help conservation.
It's not a matter of PC, or new-age new-speak "changing the definition of hunting". I kill animals in the hunt,
probably more than my fair share. But it's not all take, take, take. And if all you do is take, without putting
anything back, maybe next month, year, or the year after, you'll start coming up empty-handed, with
nobody to blame but yourself.
See that Indian on the shoreline, crying at all the garbage? Some day that could be you, with a Fudd
rifle and a funny hat, crying about the vanished game animals.(not really, I just thought the crying Indian with
a Fudd rifle and funny hat was a funny image)
