Hunters always do more for conservation than non hunters. Just because I hunt (a lot) doesn't mean I don't respect nature.

This is exactly right. Costs for hunting typically go back to the Department of Natural Resources (in the US).

Hunting also helps control animal population. The DNR's do a good job of ensuring bag limits are at levels that do help control animal population (more than just sheer numbers, also looks at male/female populations). Law abiding hunters know the importance of conservation.

Hunters are also the first ones to recognize there may be a potential issue with certain animals. Take deer for ex, hunters were the first to recognize and report Cwd and tuberculosis in deer.

We don't know this reference. It's kinda weird to air this on the forum without backstory (or did I just miss a rant about your stepson elsewhere on here?).

I don't East Youngstown. Is that a sentence, even?

Mind filling in those of us who don't East Youngstown?
