Plus let’s remember. Hunting and fishing protect and restore habitat and wildlife. Per the research, wakeboarding destroys habitat.
Yep, no better way to protect a deer than to shoot it in the head. History is full of examples of hunting being protective and restorative - only in history though since the species were protected into extinction.

Watermen on the Chesapeake Bay wanted to preserve the crab population by reducing the number of Rockfish that were feeding on the eggs. Fortunately, the state imposed a moratorium on taking rockfish far a few years until the population recovered.

I enjoyed hunting when I was young but too much of anything is bad.
