1. I oppose the hunting of rare and endangered species. That's it.

Stuff a fish, mount a moose head...I don't care.

[MadBadger]

2. If you use it for food, I'm fine. If not,...u suck.

[Lucian]

3. All the above.

Unless you're starving and there is absolutely nothing else to eat within miles. Otherwise, there's no need for hunting anymore.

4. I voted multiple, trophies, just for fun, rare and endangered species also.

For food is fine with me.

[Squatch]

5. If the population of (insert animal X here) is sustainable, then

allow it to be hunted.

[NaturalHigh]

6. As I posted on another thread...

I've known people for whom hunting provided a substantial part of their diet. I'm fine with hunting under those circumstances. In fact, I'm all for people hunting or fishing for food, even though I realize this will offend the vegan crowd. Hunting just or the trophy or for the fun of kiling something, though, kind of burns me.

7. A conservative coworker once said....

I don't care about the meat I just want to kill something.

8. Hunting should be for food only.

It's an important part of the Native culture up here, so I would never oppose hunting for subsistence. I have mixed emotions about city-dwelling hunters, but I know some people just like the taste of the wild meat, and enjoy the experience of hunting. Plus, wild meat isn't so full of additives. But I really don't like people hunting just for the thrill of the kill or to bring home a trophy. That's just wrong.

9. It depends. Hunters are often a very powerful

conversation lobby.

[WheelWalker]

10. I'm all for hunting

and gathering in situ...

11. Trophy hunting and going out for a kill-thrill

I was brought up that if you kill something, you have to eat it.

This was strictly enforced when I killed an opossum with a pellet gun back when I was 10. My dad made me skin it, clean it, butcher it, and cook it.

Didn't taste half bad, with all the gravy. But it wasn't fun at all.
