why would you kill such animals they are inosent and normal just like us. all of the animals in the world are going to be extinct before we even get to explore them which is why I am going to put a stop to this right now!
Hunting animals is not horrific and is a great, effective, and enjoyable way to control animal conservation. It is not inhuman to hunt, and is a far faster way for an animal to die then In the wild. There are strict laws in place that stop over hunting and overpopulation. As any hunter will tell you we want to make a clean, efficient, and humane kill. God put the animals on earth for us to rule over and have for food.That is how any one would kill such animals.
I suppose this is a list of best hunting excluding the USA- United States has the most hunting opportunity out of any country
It’s not surprising that the anti-hunter in the comment section is the most uneducated imbecile that could be found on the four corners of the earth. Thank you for showing those sitting on the fence an eloquent your types are. If you’re going to put an end to something, the best thing you could put it into is your love life so there’s no chance of you fathering or mothering a child with your genetics traits.
With all that said I must agree do United States has by far the most vast hunting opportunities have any single country in the world. Hunting is legal in all 50 states by law. It’s also relatively cheap when compared to most other countries.
Unfortunately we are at the mercy of those imbeciles as they are the majority together with the media.
They influence corrupt members of governments that uses their stupidity to stay in power.
You guys know that a lot of the animals there are endangered rights? I like hunting animals that have a stable population.
Dont worry, not all Aussies are ignorant, im currently doing my pet meating licence, we have plenty of game to hunt. Also you dont need permits for introduced species and the more you drop the better off the environment. Hunters are more environmentalist orientated than the anti hunters, most of them are just uneducated, their amygdala and hypothalamus is just over developed IMO ????. We have buffalo, bulls, big pigs, cats, dogs, donkeys, all sorts. I also pay permits for local species, that money goes towards their numbers, pay for 7 or 10 and you're effectively providing for double that when the parks and wildlife utilise the funds for land management. Get out, have a go!
If you don't' like that we hunt than y'all shouldn't be on this site! We are ones who love hunting you don't have too & i am sorry but you have to shoot animals because otherwise it will be overcrowded. If you hunt you would know that you can only shoot a certain amount depending on what it is.

For all hunters out here we need to stop the greens from this land that we call our second home the bush we need to get out and protect our hunting and by this, i mean by doing what's right and standing up to the greens and make hunting a political government group so campers hunters and fishers can keep this privilege we have whose in
Anti-hunters don't get it. We spay and neuter domesticated animals, and give them rabies vaccinations. That cannot be done with wildlife. Hunting, and trapping are the only way to control population and disease in the wild. Deer can get Tuberculosis. Hunting on Cambodia for elephants here is a cold hard fact. Asian elephants when they hit senior citizen, and lose all their teeth they starve to death. Hunting on that respect is more humane. Hunting Prarie dogs on the U.S. may sound cruel because they are cute. They are dangerous to livestock, and other large animals. They will burrow in the ground like moles, and then the bog animals step them, and break their legs. Letting nature handle it is cruel.
