Hunting is both pros and cons...given that the metropolitan areas have grown, wildlife have less and less space to move about. Population control is good...just going out for the sport of it is not. there was a story about some hunters getting mad at each other and shoot one another...I have no heart for them...however, if you're out and about and something jumps out, yes you need to defend yourself.

I thought we had a "no politics" rule here? Now I see two threads on hunting, and even someone wishing people dead?

At night I dreamed that life was beauty, but I awoke and life was duty. So I bought a camera.

1. Hunting provides the majority of the income for many African nations.

2. If hunting was not allowed, there would be no weapons for defense. This is the case in most photo safaris, and has led to several deaths of clients and guides on photo safaris.

I apologize Murph that things got off topic which prompted you to delete your post...

Even though I didn't get a chance to read the original post it is still very unfortunate that you felt the need to remove it because of the comments made.
