It is that challenge that would make me hunt DG. We cannot personally justify the harvest of hunting DG by using the meat, thus we seem to hunt DG for the true sport of the hunt.

DG is an excellent example.

I hunt as I feel I am a part of the stewardship of a valuable God-given asset. I "justify" the hunt by making sure folks know I enjoy being part of maintaining a sustainable yield harvest of all game I shoot.

Personally, I do not place predators in as high regard as I do game/meat animals. Predators compete with me and mine in the management of game animals, and it is my philosophy that as human predators increase, natural predators should decrease.

I agree. Predators compete for game.I do not eat the meat of predators or varmints and do not feel we should eradicate them,just selectively cull them to maintain a balance with their natural prey.Ultimately mankind will determine what lies or dies, what survives and what becomes extinct. We need to do so wisely.
