I have no more problem with killing a deer than I do with eating a hamburger. But to me the word hunting implies sport or at least the use of cunning and skill. I believe these people are simply harvesting the deer on their land. An ironic grin comes on my face when these people call this a sport as it does when people go to fish farms and brag about their catch.

The only way I like to fish would be best describe as havesting. Give me a net or jigger of some kind and a school of fish and I am happy. Fly fishing and other "sport" fishing I find boring. "Catch and release" nearly boggles my mind for it's pointlessness.

Harvesting would be a fine an accurate name for the caribou hunt as Canadian natives do it. (probably Alaskan as well) They get on their ATV's drive to a place where literally hundreds of migrating animals are crossing their field of vision. They pick out a few, only kill enough to met their needs. Shoot cleanly and carefully so that bullets and meat are not wasted. Of this I heartily approve.

Someone who shoots animals so that they can put "trophys" on their walls....yawn...
