catch to any fishing license vendor
and the state paid a reward, per pound, per fish, whatever, this would help
immesely.


I'm a varmint hunter as well as other game, I have no problems
controlling the numbers of varmints,, or carp. I eat all the game
animals I kill except the vermin. When I kill other game fish, or harm
them so I know they won't survive if released, they also go in the
frying pan, but not carp. There are many introduced species that "need"
to be killed, both fish and land animals. I have no problem dispatching
them, just like emptying a mouse trap I set. Sorry but it is man's
place, to control the number of animals, sometimes these animals can't
be utilized by man, like he toads taking over down under, and the rabbit
problem they have down there.

PETA can go screw themselves, we can not give into their for food only
approach,, as this is just the start, then they go the whole 9 yds, not
kill anything. for any reason, (including rats, and cock roaches) as
this is what they actually want, and believe in. If you fall for part,
it won't take them long to get you to fall for it all. They go one step
at a time.

Obey the game laws of your state, they know better than anyone else
(in most cases). If a person obeys the game laws, I have no problem with
anything they do with in that law. If you don't like the law,, then get
it changed
