Default RE: Are we really hunting anymore?

Indians are many times credited with being the "ultimate hunters", but I would like to point out that when Europeans came to North America and brought horses and firearms, Indians were quick to adopt the use of them.

It is perfectly normal for any animal, including humans to look for a way to make the hunting kill more efficient, in other words easy.

In modern times, we have reached a point where technology has required game laws to regulate equipment and methods for taking game. Otherwise people would be using helecopters and machine guns to harvest trophy bucks.

Indians used to herd buffalos and force them off of cliffs so they would fall to their deaths. I assume they did this because it was easier to harvest a large number of animals with minimal effort.
