I was raised in almost an identical situation to BG's. All our meat was what we could hunt or fish off the land. All was done simply because there was really no affordable option. However, I agree with you. Sport hunting is unnecessary unless really for the purpose of culling over stocks to prevent the critters from starving to death because there are insufficient resources to support population. I worked as a guide for several summers at hunting lodges and I believe even BG would agree, the majority of rich "southerners" who came were absolute wankers with no respect for wildlife. Better to give them a camera!
