Wow, a one way monologue. First, Hunting is very regulated and safe with a very small accident rate compared to other outdoor activites. Second, Hunting brings in huge revenues from liscense fees, tag fee's, and the local economy recieves financial benefits. Third, hunting season is typically in the late fall and early spring when most children are in school and adults are working so it is "Off Season" for the typical large crowds. Finally, in today's over populated world, the animal population must be managed. Whether that is buying a local city liscense for your dog or cat, managing rodents in a city, or deer, wolf or elk in a national park. To say no hunting is to say no horseback riding or no hiking. It is an opportunity for someone to practice and do what they enjoy. Do not be prejudice against anything. But work together for everyone to enjoy the parks, have healthy animals, plants and beautiful scenery and be finanically responsible. Huntinyg will bring in ten times the money hikers, horseback riders and campers will bring in. And it will all be managed at the hunters expense while eveyone else enjoys the benefits also.

the ONLY animal that needs to be managed is MAN!! with man's urban sprawl encroaching on more and more wild space, where are the animals supposed to live?? and what happens when all the wildlife is killed off?..... really no sense going into a national park then, is there? i think the hunter's are the one's who should be hunted, alot of them are just thrill killers, shooting at ANYTHING that moves........

To Scott:
Are you really an idiot or are you just attempting to appear that way?
I'm 58 yo and have been hunting since I was 12 yo.
I have never shot any animal that I didn't eat. (Well...., maybe an occasional opossum.)
Often, I have carried out trash that was left behind by the "greenies" and tree-huggers. (Hunters don't normally pack in Skittles and diet sodas.)
Get out of your city condo, get the facts, and get a life.
