Well said Art.
Cowboys have been catching mustangs and breaking them. I know it is not exactly the same as wild elephants but similar.
I don't think the way the average American thinks is evolved. I think it is declined. Some Hollywood version of right and wrong is fumigating the public over the media about hunting. THEY call that evolved or enlightened.
To hunt is one of our deepest primordial instincts. THEY still eat without questioning how that animal died.
I agree that deer and elk are symbols of the great outdoors not the stock pen.
I just hope some of us remember and pass on the privilege of hunting these great icons of the American outdoors, and fight to keep it available.
