BTW... try to remember this when someone criticizes hunting / fishing. A major part of sustainable hunting and fishing is making sure we have an environment that actually produces quality fish and game.
Most people DO NOT give a shit about trout for example
I'm a trout fisherman and think they're an insanely beautiful species. When I flew into Montana my trout stamp was like $150... non-trivial amount but absolutely worth it.
- tkjef 7y agotrout is my favorite fish to watch & to eat. i've also thrown back quite a few. fun fact: in a pinch if all you have is a little bit of pringles shake them up into little crumbs, prepare the fish, sprinkle the pringles crumbles inside the fish, cook wrapped in tin foil near a fire's embers and you have some good eating with a bit of seasoning.

- nullwasamistake 7y agoThis... Is a prison recipe :). Fish, chip coating, cook in the chip bag in microwave. Not saying it's bad, I've done it. Chips are a great substitute for bread crumbs.

- tkjef 7y agoagreed. you have to be very careful taking out your hook.
- bamboozled 7y agoI agree with this idea too, most people I know who are into fishing and hunting are definitely the most keen on preserving natural environments and cleaning up the ocean.
- ses1984 7y agoThe most avid fisherman I know thinks climate change is a Chinese hoax. Sure, most people do not give a shit about trout, fisherman and hunters included. I wouldn't consider myself a hunter or fisherman (but I have fished occasionally and the implication that people like me don't care about the environment is frankly insulting.

- SomeOldThrow 7y agoInsulting? My friend, the planet is dying; who gives a shit about your pride. “Caring” is a cheap term these days.

- icebraining 7y ago-- George Carlin, actually, and yeah, he was known to make a joke or two. Mixed in with some truth.
- abraae 7y agoThe underlying rock is fine, the delicately balanced ecosystems and atmosphere sitting on top - they're fucked.
- RomanBob 7y ago> When I flew For somebody who cares about 'sustainable hunting and fishing', you sure do like to pollute the environment just for the pleasure of getting to fish. Why then, should others make the sacrifice to their lifestyle for the purpose of sustaining the environment when you are not willing to?
