Default Fishery Management was Catch and Release Hurts our Quality of Life

JT,

I answered your question directly. Several times. I hate to say this
JT, but this *specific* question is usually one of the 1st or 2nd
questions that come up every time in this debate. I don't know how
else to answer you. All fishermen try really hard to minimize
incidental loss while hunting or fishing. It happens. A friend of mine
was hunting Elk alone and he shot a cow elk and wounded it. He was
tracking it, saw it and shot it. It was then that he realized he had
killed a second elk. This is a tough guy who was distraught about it.
Once as kid I shot a sparrow hawk while dove hunting. Anyone with a
shred of outdoors ethics is upset by this, but it happens and is
unavoidable.

And if I were starving, had a snowmobile and a club. Yes.

You still haven't answered my direct question because you know I'm right...
Very well...

BTW, I'm a hunter too... My family has hunted a certain area for years, we
noticed the herds were diminishing. Guess what we did? We quit hunting the
area for a few years to let the population recover. We didn't continue
taking animals in an area just because the law said we could.

Get a clue...

EOT,
JT
Catch & Release fishing is a conservation effort to protect stream
viability for future generations, while enjoying the sport of fishing.
