The guy I think has left the country.<br /><br />This is where HUNTING must walk hand in hand with CONSERVATION and is why I often say that the Militaries of the world should be looking after 'animals' with their fellow Greenies - rather than Politics.<br /><br />So know your animal: is it rare, is it of proper size, is it with calf, etc, etc.<br />If Hunters were more 'conservative' then there would still be many great beasts alive to be hunted for both wonderful taste and thrill of the challenge.<br /><br />...though I think hunting animals with projectile weapons is a bit 'gay' (gutless) to be honest. The blade is what a real man is made (of). <br /><br />And as someone who has worked in a Hatchery for some big American company that does MASS production of poultry ...yep, nothing like hunting real Quail. 75% of MP poultry is hatched as defective: neurotic problems, retardation, deformaties, don't hatch at all (rotten).<br /><br />Strict 'social' hunting clubs is what is needed and education - not just for the smart ones either.<br /><br /> http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1339653571 Australian Politics Forum/Hunting and Fishing http://www.ozpolitic.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1339653571 So we are the 'world leader'! In other words we lead the world in gullability in going down this path. Note the largest park is in the Coral Sea, which the US based Pew Tust heaviliy campaigned for. When asked why Pew hasn't agitated for such a park in the the Gulf Of Mexico they said it would be too damaging for the US economy!
