    I enjoy bloodsports but the animals must not suffer and I also insist on only killings animals that have healthy populayions.

    I get no joy from killing animals. I would rather spend my outdoor time hiking with my dog.

    It is hard to appreciate that << federal taxes on guns and sporting equipment are spent on.... conservation efforts and wildlife refuges >>. Probably there are less people hunting and fishing because there are more people...getting shot by guns and surviving to feel compasionate for voiceless and defenceless animals
