Thinking about this from the DNR/WRC's point of view......why do they care?

Hunters, to them, are a means of population control. Period. While I suppose they'd like to see animals taken ethically and quickly.....in the end...I guess they don't care if that animal bleeds out in 20 seconds or 20 hours. Why would they want to EXclude more "predators" from the woods.....and at the cost (to them) of more man hours and $$ (to provide testing).
