Thread: The ethics of shooting Thar (not mature bulls) and not retrieving them...

I guess it really comes down to the individual.
If you put it into context along with culling goats (stinkies) and rabbits and you're asked to cull some "while you're in there", and remember that is what has been asked of us, then no I dont see it as an issue but that is only my opinion. I am but one man.
I dont think the "DOC will shoot alot more than 3 or 4 mentality" is a fair statement.
It has been spelled out clearly to all hunters. DOC WILL shoot many more Tahr and that is a Fact. Like it or not.
The Tahr Foundation has also called on hunters to "do their part" in reducing numbers and as responsible members of the hunting community I will do my part.
BTW that doesnt mean Im going to blaze up a mob. I dont think thats in any way Game Animal Management. Take out some older Nannies, some shitty looking animals what most of us would do? am I wrong?
For the most part I will carry what I can but you can only carry so much. Who wants to eat a shitty old toothless nanny anyway?
