No one loves wildlife more than the hunter. Ted Nugents the "Great White Buffalo" always comes to mind. It was not the hunter that drove the buffalo to the brink of extinction. It was the bussiness man.
If you have an endangered species, open a season on it. Hunters put their money (and time) where their mouth is. Before long, that endangered species will be thriving at maximum carrying capacity with a generous bas limit.
Wildlife in America is not supported by the government or animal lovers either for that matter. Most game management agencies are almost 100% hunter revenue supported with the exception of water fowl. At least they were when I did a paper on the subject in school. Habitat development, supplemental food sources, almost every aspect of wildlife management you can think of comes from license revenue.
