Hunting is good. It is enjoyable, it brings in revenue for a state, and the game is tasty. When done responsibly, it teaches safety and responsibility. It can be a good family activity. It helps to control the animal population. Many of us participate in a program called "Share the Harvest," in which we donate a portion of our game to local food lockers. Venison is better for you than beef. Wild turkey and goose are good for you. Pheasant is good for you.
Lets not forget. That hunting also support public hunting area, which in the spring and summer create a safe place for animails to live, where local farm land kills off the baby animails, by plowing and ripping up feilds. Duck Unlimited helps protect our natural wetlands which are fastly disapearing, that is funded mostly by hunters, and a portion of all federal waterfowl stamps go to funding for the wetlands. When done responsible hunting not only teaches safety, responsibility it goes much greater then that. It gives individuals a sense of how nature and life and death and the food chain work. You can teach your young hunter to only take what they need and can use. Also hunting was the solo way that my family supported themselves so we did not have to seek aid from the goverment. Most hunters and outdoor people care greatly for the wildlife a few random slob hunters are the one that give it a bad name to the rest of us. Also with controlling the hunting population it help keep the animails healthy and from getting sick or over crowding because man whiped out most of the natural predators, so now we have to fill that void.
Also my family mainly hunts ducks and geese. Dead animail parts. You make it sound like they keep whole heads and feet in the freezer. It mostly just brest meat.... the same kind of stuff you can buy in a grocery store, but wild game has a lot less fat on it then farm raised animails, so its better for ya.
Oh and why we are at it. I am against game peservs...... the animail does not have a fair chance being fenced in and taught not to be afraid of people. might as well go to a zoo and blast away.
Fuck hunters. :soldier:
