[QUOTE="Chase723, post: 1552389, member: 21524"] I was going to go on a little rant, but will refrain. What I will say is this, whether you hunt for food or hunt for trophies you better do all you can to preserve/improve the resource and places we go to harvest it, purely for the purpose of continuing being able to harvest it like we do. And, we better band together as a unified front for hunting because as we all know there is a huge movement that wants to ban it solely on the basis of some preconceived notion of moral superiority. I don't like to see animals suffer and bad shots make me want to puke, but in the end the goal is still the same. Fill the freezer, and if I shoot a Booner then freaking awesome...and you can bet that if I can choose I'm going to shoot the big one...at least most of the time, there are times where I will purposefully shoot the small one but its beyond the scope of this response. That being said, if you're primary goal is a Booner, then great but you better stand up for the meat hunters too. Animal sentience isn't a rational reason to ban hunting in support of commercial agriculture, and furthermore its not a reason to ban commercial animal husbandry in favor of eating only plants. If that was the case the same logic should be applied to breaking bones. It should be illegal for you to anything that might cause you to break a bone (like you're femur, or tibia, or any bone) because its incredibly painful...see how dumb that sounds? Life hurts, and nature can be brutal. Obviously, the goal should be to be as humane about it as possible and not to cause purposeful prolonged suffering. We should also strive to create environments where game populations are "out of control". I.E. extremely plentiful and set aside purely for the purpose of hunting. We should do everything we can to increase the numbers of wild game, "trophies" or not...In my mind they're all trophies though. Aside from the meat, I also like animal hides, bones, skulls, and antler. Its all awesome. I don't know how as a society we've gotten to the point that simply because someone doesn't want to do something based upon their own personal moral conundrum that they now have the right to try and force that belief onto other people who don't have that same problem.
