All states use hunting as the only viableand practical method to keepanimal populations in check and disease free. This method also brings a great revenue to the states. Opponenets of hunting have offered birth control as a method of controlling animal pops. This method is expensive and instead of bringing revenue to the states, it costs them money. You can talk emotions all you want. IMO the nonhunting public goes with their wallet and what the wildlife biologist at state level recommend. Hunting is not going to be banned, and this is my point of this thread.

I do not go out of my way to smear blood on an animal for a pic and this accusation is rediculous. Sometimes we as hunters, gut an animal and then go back to the truck for our camera. If some blood is showing, I am not going to be embarrassed of the pic or simply avoid taking the pic because there is blood on the animal.
