Trophy Hunting Good?!
#46
RE: Trophy Hunting Good?!
Trophy hunting -is- game management, and were it not for the trophy hunting..there would be no game to manage. Consider the cost of tranqing and euthanizing 1k elk a year. Then ask yourself who would pay for it, just for that..forget all the habitat and herd management, and keep in mind that the way it's done at present nets the management group more than $400k a year just in the tags.

As a semi-related aside....increasingly stringent hunting regulations combined with a declining interest in hunting over the past few years led to an absolute bumper crop of deer in N. America.  However, along with the greater population density came an explosion of chronic wasting disease.  The harsh reality, at least as far as the elk I was discussing are concerned..is this.  Unless hunters kill a -shitload- more deer, it will inevitably make it's way into the elk, and because the elk don't live solo or in isolated groups like deer do...once it's in, they're done for.  

Fatal in 100% of cases.  Pretty shitty way to go. It;s difficult to imagine that anything other than the best of intentions are behind people not getting into hunting...and closing the door to people who do get into it..so to speak, and it;s unfortunate that this has contributed to even greater suffering than the type they'd hoped to reduce. Increased trophy taking, and getting rid of captive cervid operations, are the solution to the problem. More hunting, less farming.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
