shooting defenseless animals is just fine by him, but when the prey shoots back he wont do it.
As opposed to what? Just eating defenseless ones someone else killed for you?
Then again if it wasn't for American sportsmen and woman there wouldn't be any Elk, Bear, M-Lion, Turkey, Deer, upland birds, waterfowl,fishing programs, moose, or a lot of other animals still left. Nor the habitat that supports them. Every wild life success story in this countries history was made possible by sportsmen and woman. The defensless deer I hunt Cav has a whole lot better chance to live then that cow you just crapped out did.
The ones who make "defenseless animals" type comments dont extend their love into their wallets. And those cheeseburgers dont come out of cracker jack boxes.
