Model722, I thought about it a bit and no I don' t think I would. I think my first answer and second answer I originally post sum that up.

I do practice C&R when fishing by only keeping smaller (eater size) fish and only enough for a fresh meal. While they maybe hold some of the same reasons, value, etc...hunting and fishing are not equal in my mind. Also I know that for every fish i release i am giving them about a 10% chance of death, I use barbless, keep them in the water and minimize touching them but still the trauma of being caught and struggle to get free will and does effect their survival in the end. So like C&R fishing, hunting may or could have the same results. Many people who practice C&R think they can catch, catch and catch with no impact on the resource...that is not true. I practice with every ten fish I catch I will take 2 towards my daily limit. I feel that to protect and do greater good I should assume some of those fish may not indeed make it. IE: the limit is 4 fish, i will only catch 20 and call it a day...even though my bucket is empty. I know maybe a bit overkill, but I think if I do my part or more it will help in areas that others just take.

If these same rates held true for hunting, some people would shoot all kinds, sizes, species of game, get the photo and assume no death or harm has come. How would you be able to police that? What would be the overall effect on the herd or the bucks in the area?(it can' t be zero) What real purpose would it serve, for a picture or mount? We can do that without any risk now!

Being I am a trophy hunter, you would think I would say, yes. However, I enjoy so many aspects of hunting that the harvest or mount just is ICING ON THE CAKE. Call me crazy, I guess.
