Hunting predators has caused massive ecological harm in the US.
Hunt hogs. They're invasive and cause massive damage ecologically and economically. They can also fuck you up.
Hunting feral hogs is outdated management practice. It interferes with centralized operations that combat the feral hogs, but also educates the hog populations to be better at evading capture. Drop cages with baiting and cameras are the most effective management practice. Seconded by drones that use infrared to find sounders of hogs, those details are send to a helicopter with a sharpshooter to take out the whole sounder.
TL; DR: hunting feral hogs makes smart hogs and only makes thr problem of controlling and reducing population worse.
This isn’t entirely true… extermination of apex predators has brought environmental damage. Sustainable hunting is actually a net positive, brings additional revenue to the area and helps population dynamics. Specifically things like how they hunt African Lions today. The pick sick or old animals, it has high barrier to entry so it’s not something you do often and most of the money goes back into conservation and local developing economies.
So you're saying thousands of people people who aren't members of the rich, white, cis, straight Republican, male ruling class should spend 200 grand each to hunt old apex predators?
