i watched a movie about Wyatt Earp and it made sick to watch them shoot dozens of Buffalo and only take there furs
alot of people think hunting killed off all the animals in the wild west it was in fact trappers and people kill animals to sell there furs

The buffalo were an example of unregulated market hunting. No problem if you issue a certain number of market tags on a justified need or lottery basis. Lots of furbearing animals are currently hunted/trapped exclusively to sell their fur and we haven't seen them going the way of the buffalo.
The simple fact of the matter is lots of people love to shoot deer, but far fewer like to eat the meat. What do you think happens to the meat off those does when a trophy hunter participates in an earn a buck program. I am for whatever it takes to keep all that meat from going to waste.
