[QUOTE="Gene Jr., post: 432806, member: 15474"] You mention commercial hunting and fishing but didn't mention trapping at all. Trapping fits the situation you are struggling with. It is done for sport and for profit and many struggle politically with the profit side of the equation. It's easy to defend hand to mouth subsistance, not so easy to defend a profitable business. Although the proffesional trappers I know are not living in $500K homes although they may (most don't) drive a new truck. Just a thought: The fish, meat animal or furbearer doesn't know or care if it was killed for sport or profit. They need to be managed for the good of the specie not the taker of the animal. [/QUOTE]
