Look first of all I am not going to get all bent out of shape,at least you are not putting down guns in general LOL. I wan't to just pass on a little information here. Without licensed hunting as a way of conservation the animals die a greater and much more unkindly death. Disease, starvation and brakdown of the gene pool due to overpopulation. Licensed hunting is a multi-million dollar bussiness jsut here in the state of Ohio where almost all of it goes right back into conservation programs to help save habitat and build wetlands. I can give you a good example of the harm done by people. In the late 80's I can remember trapping. Well the overseas countries that bought our furs decided to boycott them unlkess we got rid of the leg hold trap. Well no go so now the fur market has dropped by over 3/4 and no trapping. Well the racoon,fox,muskrat have abounded in such numbers that the coon are so sickly with distemper and rabies that I am afraid to touch them, the fox have mange and distemper so bad they are about all sick, I am not sure what diesease muskrats got but it darn near cleared them out of this area for good. Not to rant but it happens so just think about it when hunting is brought up. You can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy
