In response to Peachnut's statement. If people did not hunt especially, big game animals, then their population would grow so large that browse lines would emerge causing mass starve outs and diseases in the species.(studies show this) Not to mention the traffic problems that would be caused. In GA the insurance companies are the reason for increased bag limits because of all the claims resulting from hitting these animals on interstates etc. Travel in the soutweast would become deadly(more so).
Also you have to kill animals to eat them and i like to eat them and if I am not supposed to eat them why do I have 4 specialized teeth for such. There is a disconnect b/w people and there food that it is absurd. Hamburgers come from cows you know. Ever see chickens on a chicken truck(pretty brutal sight)!
--As to me living in the past i guess I am. My dad as been taking me hunting ever since I was about 8 years old just as his dad did and as i will with my son because I like the way it makes me feel.
--I don't own an assault rifle or even a pistol and I see guns as tools not weapons. I admit there are people out ther with guns who should not have them and many people will be accidently killed year after year just as there are a lot of shitty drivers out there who will kill people with their cars year after year but it ain't me babe.
--If you object for the sake of the wildlife then you should read up on the affects of urban sprawl-development in wetlands and mercury levels in rivers which are detrimental to all species and compare those to hunting game animals.
(sorry my statments are broad and rambling -I have a hangover)
