I don't personally hunt but have family and friends that do. They all understand licenses, seasons, and that the rules exist to ensure sustainable populations.

I don't personally hunt but have family and friends that do. They all understand licenses, seasons, and that the rules exist to ensure sustainable populations. None are trophy hunters - they have a butcher prepare the meat and a tanner make objects from the skins. It is possible to respect an animal and engage in conservation efforts while being a hunter. Many human societies have had forms of this, even having thankfulness rituals where they praise the spirit of the animal.
