That's an interesting article. The same Dr. Valeruis Geist back in 1988 wrote an article in D&DH magazine listing threats to modern hunting and wildlife conservationand at the top of his list was privatization of wildlife...coincidentally the holy grail of QDM. Nature's motto is survival of the fittest. Trophy hunting preaches survival of the weakest, as we target the largest specimens for the trophy room fireplace. How can this practice which ispolar opposite of mother nature's intention, be good for wildlife? If man still hunted in the true role of a predator, for substance, it would be the weak that we would prey on, just as the wolves, coyotes, lions, and other top predators. Granted, in a state with hunting pressure as great as ours, and such a broad range of desires among hunters concerning what they kill, the effect may be slight, but in some situations regarding ceratin species and locales, it stands that the effect could be severe.
