The art of hunting is an activity which requires extensive scouting of the grounds as well as an appreciable amount of stewardship to enhance the ground s attractiveness to game. The last thing any hunter wants is unhealthy animals. In the summer hay bales were set up in clearings. Forgive us if going for a hike seems like a somewhat limited form of interaction.

While over-hunting certain species is obviously environmentally deleterious, the fact is this behavior is nothing more than an attempt to represent the improper conduct of a small percentage of people as the actions of hunters at large. The fact is that real hunters love the land that they hunt on, and respect the wildlife that live within it. One conservationist who is also a skilled hunter was Aldo Leopold.
