RE: Why you hunt? (for school paper)
to help nature,
about 30% of the animals will die, hunting makes up about 6% of that 30%
rest is disease, predators, accidents,
rather increase how many die via hunting, and get utilized for food, skins, etc,
and have how many die of disease and accidents decrease,
hunting helps provide for a healthier heard,
if you want info, stats on harvest #'s, accident rates, etc... let me know will be glad to help,
I tend to be more familiar with NY #'s than stats from elsewhere in the US.
