As for the conservation value, that's a good example of a bad take. The conservation value is demonstrable, and clear...but the money doesn't always go where it should and the animals aren't always treated as the valuable resource that they are, even for sport. It's probably the exception when they are, rather than the norm.
All of that aside...I refuse to eat bear meat. No one can make me put it in my mouth. More power to people with broken tongues who think it tastes good if you add the weight of the meat in spices and cook it for a week and don't mind the worms....but I wont eat it, lol. I don't eat deer aside from jerky, either. That's why I don't hunt alone. Mostly, game tastes like shit to me. I'm in it for a long shot and a good kill. Ridge to ridge, down in one. If I was hungry I'd be trapping, not shooting.
Punch holes in paper then.
If you want a thrill, jump off a bridge.
Bungee cord optional.
