BJ-We do conserve and contribute more than the whole lot of loud mouthed eco terrorists and it helps but like they say nothing stops "progress". PEOPLE are the problem. I grew up in AZ and now the areas oround Phoenix that were bought up by the govt to preserve have new hiking trails and I can't step off those trails. Used to be able to bowhunt where houses and preserves are now. I see yotes and javelina every week walking down the neighborhood looking for a nice fat kitty or small dog and have seen same with cat in mouth. I see all the easterners and others move here for what we have and then start pushing to change it to what they just left behind. Same is happening in your country where fat cats buy up huge spreads then lock them up.

This trend will not change and that's why we as hunters have to keep fighting and working for what habitat is left. Just look at the recent bear hunt back east where protestors carried signs to protect "citizen's animals". They will let the same animals that were pushed out by housing developments starve quietly in the bushes or get run over by cars but will not admit that hunting is a humane and necessary way to control the game population that is losing their habitat. I hope the javelina and yotes keep eatin those new york poodles so the dorks will understand how nature operates in spite of their rhetoric.
