Let’s break it down so you can understand. I don’t hunt coyotes because it doesn’t appeal to me. Some people shoot coyotes for no other reason than they like killing things. That’s not exactly what I would consider ethical. Other people kill them for the hides, or because they think coyotes are...- TX Trophy Hunter

I I was referring to your comment that people enjoy killing things and other people make money off that. That has nothing to do with conservation and everything to do with morals. Leave the exotic part out for now. I’m talking about having respect for a living animal and what justifies killing...- TX Trophy Hunter

I haven’t tried to justify having exotics, I actually hate that they are here. But they didn’t choose to be here and deserve the same respect as any other animal. What did I say that made non hunters sound dumb? I’m trying to get the hunting community to hold ourselves to a higher standard so...- TX Trophy Hunter

I agree about the exotics. I also believe that the second half of your statement is what the anti hunting crowd is using to fight against hunting. And we need support from the non-hunters who have not picked a side. Now read through this whole thread and think about what kind of opinions a non...- TX Trophy Hunter

Maybe you don’t but there’s clearly a lot of us that do see the need. If aoudad are such a destructive invasive species then why don’t we all band together to remove them from the United States? The only reason not to eradicate them is for their hunting value. So if we are not eating the meat...- TX Trophy Hunter

Who did the moose shooting and what does that have to do with the rest of us “ethics police” or the topic at hand? You call it dog piling, I see it as trying to educate and having legitimate rebuttals for the arguments justifying leaving meat out to rot. I thought we were allowed to have debates...- TX Trophy Hunter

Very true, San Andres mountains in NM for example. The ethics of that could be discussed in a whole new thread, but regardless of that we should not be using that as an excuse for our own unethical behavior.- TX Trophy Hunter

The full sheep hunting experience includes eating the sheep you killed. I’ve only shot 1 aoudad and it was an old ewe in the OTC unit of NM, but the meat was great. I know a lot of people that love the meat. What you have done is given the anti hunting community ammunition to use in their...- TX Trophy Hunter
