"·. but I see no logical ones."
it simply depends on where you are, who you are, and how you were trained. I know a man in W. Va. who sometimes goes out in his back yard and harvests a local deer for food.....I know also a woman who moved to Vermont and was aghast when deer season opened to see idiots driving slowly down rural roads in pickups with shotguns cradled in their laps, drinking beer and shooting at things than seemed to be moving in nearby woods.

If reason were followed, wildlife would be protected when necessary to maintain the population, and hunting would be allowed when possible for those with proper training and needs and idiots would be prosecuted as noted above.

I thank Wolfgang for the link to the REAL story of the original post.

one more thought: fish may be caught, weighed, thrown back and caught again...for a fox or deer, it doesn't work that way.
