You said it very well nctaxi...That's the way I see it.
I respect all the animals I hunt and am surrounded by, and I can't say that there is any animal I would kill out of dislike. I have no problem with hunting for recreation, food or to control pests.Some things just must be done. Have a pest problem?There are ways to handle that

Hunting rabbits, squirrels or other small game is a blast. Theres nothing like wild game meat on the table.Hunt for what ever reason you wish. It should always be done with respect, in my opinion. I try to do things as respectfully as possible, and utilize what I can. I don't like to shoot something if I don't plan on eating it. That's just the way I like to do things. We all have our own set of ethics that we follow. I hunt the way I choose, but do not expect others to do things the way I do, as I would not like another person trying to change the way Iprefer to do things.
Now...Just out of curiosity, I wonder how coyote tastes...It can't be too bad. It's always worth a try.
