Here's an ethics question for you.
How many people would exercise restraint if there was no restriction on how many you can take?
How long would it take for an all out "Tragedy of the Commons" epidemic to break out?
Cause, you know, that worked so well before game agencies were formed.
I'm not suggesting more government regulation. I'm suggesting science as a basis for management. If you're too stupid to understand that you can only kill X amount of deer here, and Y amount there, then you don't need a gun in your hand. I agree, some regulations are confusing, but to say that the limit in Area 10 is 4 deer, maybe only 1 doe, for example, is not that difficult.
You look at it as regulation. I look at it as conservation. How many people would willingly exercise that mentality in a free for all?
