Had some time this morning, and paddled over to read the entire thread.
Most interesting. over two hundred comments. If you have time, take a look.
Zappa smacked her early on (#29), then left her alone. The only reason I can see, is she didn't go full-court stupid as usual.
Naturally, the grazing plant killers went into spin mode.
Gnads held them off. What a surprise.
Then, way down toward the bottom, I see this...

Eat the meat = not a trophy hunter. Incidental collection of trophies from animals is not the same as hunting FOR trophies.
There's a huge difference between someone traveling not very far to hunt animals to eat, and someone who wastes energy traveling large distances to kill animals for fun. Especially if it's one of those pathetic canned hunts. That's not even hunting. That's just wanton slaughter.

256. The problem is that the MAJORITY of hunters are not ones
going to canned hunts, Opening day notwithstanding, when local folk stay indoors, most hunting is not done for fun.
And what I am trying to do also is separate this.
The ones who do what you despise are actually a large loud, minority. No, it's a very small minority.
For the record, my weapon of choice, mostly I would not trust myself with one with bullets, is a camera with a 300 mm lens. Can't shoot that 300 very well, either. Take some leasons.

257. Gonna have to agree with you there.
I really don't understand the "trophy" aspect at all.
How is it "sport" to shoot something that can't shoot back?
No swipe at the Gnads.

47. Careful there, some of us ARE city slickers
Granted, I did work in a Kibutz for a while... and have had rattler, good eating there. What? Gnads, there are two "b"s in kibbutz.
Probably gathered rattler eggs.
