Trophy hunting disturbing

I disagree with Barbara Sommerville. This is not an obscenity. Where do you draw the line...how about no fish pictures (fish are beautiful, too), and how about cut flowers (they were once alive). Last time I checked, they were still selling meat and vegetables in the grocery store. Maybe they should have an obscenity disclosure statement along side the Prop 65 sign to warn you of the killed meat and vegetables that you might see.
However, this is not a reality. The reality is that hunters, like myself, support the developement and management of wild game with the purchase of licenses, tags, and paying fees to keep the heards of wild game properly managed by the Department of Fish and Game. In addition, where a species was unmanaged in the past, like Angel Island, disease can propagate and kill off huge numbers of animals.
In my 30 years of hunting, I have not even been able to draw an Elk tag, nor any of my family that has paid to the oppertunity to draw a tag. But our years of paying fees have supported the proper management of these healthy herds. Thirty years ago, I saw only 3 elk up in the Lake Pillsbury area, and now there are hundreds. And they now issue 2 tags, each year, to manage the herd. Hopefully, some day I or one of my sons will draw a tag for this area and be skilled enough to actually harvest an elk. Not only will none of the meat be wasted, we will actually enjoy it much more than store bought, growth hormone injected, slaughtered animal meat. To me, the last million years of mankind living off of a sustainable source of food, is good enough for me. And I will not have to avert my eyes, when I walk past the meat alise.
