Well, there you have it---people who don't know what they're doing are clearly less responsible than those with experience who take this sort of thing seriously. While in theory I do think that as a culture we've completely lost touch with where pretty much everything comes from (not just our food but clothing, shelter, necesities of all kinds are assumed to spring fully formed into the universe, complete with shrink wrap!), and I can respect a person who hunts to put food on the table and wastes as little as possible, It just seems that the price paid in lost (even, as you point out, numb nuts') lives is woefully high each hunting season.

Maybe they should have to take an IQ test before they can get a license?
