It is true that people don't need to hunt anymore for food however if you havent tried game meat you don't know how good it is. Each year we kill thousands of turkeys for thanksgiving. I'm sure you probably have eatin a turkey for thanksgiving. Now is there a difference between you foing to the store to buy a turkey and me going out hunting for turkeys. I just take out the middle man. If you eat meat then how can you say anything bad about hunting. We just take it into our own hands to get meat.

Plus hunting keeps population under control. Without hunters there would be to many game animals and they would eat all plant life leading to the extinction of animals. Hunters were also the first consevationists. Without hunters there would be practically no wetlands for ducks and geese to live on. Almost all of the wetlands in the United States are privately owned by hunters without us there would be no wetlands left.

And for family bonds, which is better: taking your son hunting and teaching him respect for animals and gun control or taking him to a football game where he can learn how to hit someone really hard?
