Thread: Defending hunters

i prefaced my opinion on if the things said to have been done were done ie baiting it out of a reserve and poor after wounding follow up.
trophy hunting is just as ligit as any hunting if practised to its best ethics ie animals past thier prime but still great examples of thier species or top specimens where there are plenty to take thier place.
the problem as with any hunting is that those exist who treat it like a investment and if the dont get what they paid for ie exact or over measurements or large numbers of say birds, then they feel cheated or dissapointed and totaly miss the rest of the experience that hunting is mostly about.??
i dont think we should condone bad behavior, if it has taken place, just for the appearence of solidarity and i dont think the ''we have enough critics without critising ourselves'' arguement flies either.hasnt bad behavior in the birding field been mostly stomped on by those in the same game and often same area.
