I live in the bush and I could go on this topic on many levels, but some will understand and others find arguments to suit their wants. Merry Christmas to all

at 60 I was still shipping fur too. The lot that I averaged 12 dollars on made me question whether it was worth it. To be honest I haven't actively hunted them since, just taken the ones that present themselves while I am out. They are to damn stinky to do for the fun of it, and at 12 dollars that is about it.
I am from the flat ground - and predation here is mostly a function of hungry dogs. Feedlots have changed that some as u suggest.
Merry Christmas to you too
