Right, of course.

I didn't advocate wanton waste at all. I just pointed out that I think its interesting that a lot of people pick and choose which animals deserve more respect than others.

Just an observation.

The only animal I waste are coyotes and even then I only waste the sick and mangy ones but I will take more questionable shots at coyotes than deer and I certainly don't put the effort into tracking a hit coyote that I do a deer.

Oh and crow also.....every once in awhile I shoot a crow.

I don't really waterfowl hunt but even on tv you see hunters regularly just start shooting with total disregard to whether they will get a quick kill shot or not. I like duck though so people are usually more than happy to bring them to me.

Like I said I'm not judging anybody......just an interesting observation.

Ive got some farmer buddies that look at deer about the same way I look at mice in my house. They drive deer not because they love to hunt but because the deer cost them thousands of dollars a year and like a mouse in my pantry they want them dead.

perspective is my point.
