[QUOTE="partisan1911, post: 431785, member: 21115"] Location definately has alot to do with it. Here in AK, living in the bush is a great reason to subsist off the land. The issue with that is that game can be commercially sold because it is based off a "traditional" barter system. If you think about game as a scarce resource it can be argued that it should be used for personal use only. I can see that supplementing your food through sport hunting is good for management reasons both personal and environmental reasons but selling it to support "wants" is a different story. Looking at it purely in a cost based situation for people that live on the road system and near grocery stores is there a limit of how much money a person makes? Susbsitence hunters up here are exactly in that situation. They are given special hunts and quotas to ensure there is meat on the table or in turn in thier pocket book. At initial glance that may sound good but you see them hauling thier game out on thier brand new atv with meat wagon, loading it up on a trailer and driving away in thier brand new Diesel truck. Does anyone recall any books that discuss this that are not pro-commercial subsistence? Commercial fishing and sport hunting is obviously tightly regulated to ensure the renewable resources but subsistence regulation is still in the stage of observe and report. I have only found a couple books written about it and they are all one sided. That side points towards the necessity of subsistence. I am trying to argue that if you are using a brand new jet boat with $20,000 worth of jet engine on it that you are no longer subsisting and should be categorized as conducting commercial or sport hunting/fishing.
