I agree that we need to support each other, but another aspect I would like to see supported is the trapping. When I was younger, I use to fur trap. I got paid by the farmers for removing pest and I was able to sell some of the hides.
My first wife was very sick and we had some outrageous medical bills. We ate a fair number of racoon's that I trapped and sold the furs from. (The possums never did taste right, so we gave up on those. Woodchuck was pretty good and a skunk would do in a pinch.)
We all hunt for different reasons and hunt in different ways. So long as it is legal I feel I should support it.
