Why Hunt?

This video was created by California Waterfowl to promote understanding of hunting's place in a healthy balanced ecosystem and to help hunters explain how hunting intimately connects us to our environment, especially through the food we eat and share with others.

Never expected to see anything like this come out of California. Thumbs up!!

I don't hunt and don't have anything against it at all and I understand its necessities. But I strive to understand why hunters find joy in hunting. The majority of answers I've received are those pertaining to "If I have to explain, you won't understand." This provided the most insight into it. I thank you for this video.

@0AdamHeartMother0 Have you ever been to a farm? Do you know what happens to farms if you don't kill the agricultural pests? Do you know how much damage feral pigs do to the ecosystem? Are you aware that they raid sea turtle nests, and are currently the top cause of sea turtle nest destruction on our coasts? They eat ground dwelling birds, destroy clean water sources with wallows, etc.

Been shooting for years? So lets see some videos of your skill.

@woodsman513 Never understand your urge to kill? The thing that kills me is that "hunters" and I use the word in quotations because the word has lost it's meaning recently, claim to be outdoorsmen, meanwhile any animal that has ever gone extinct is due to either over hunting of the animal itself or it's main food source. Don't get me wrong, I have been shooting for years, bows, shotguns, rifles, and I love shooting. But the need to kill is another story.

@velcho1969 witch boils down to reasorses and greed. Its sad but true you cant have life without death. The world is beautifull but yet harsh.

[gary77777778888888]

@velcho1969 Also (why we hunt goats) is another video of the destruction the goats cause. Pigs and other animals are a problem as well. Hunters also donate thousands of pounds of game a year to food banks to feed the hungy. It is true we are over populated but we can sustane a much bigger population than animals because we grow manadge and store ower food and water but even now we cant feed all ower own its mostly greed but i gues you can say ower population controll is war and starvation--

[gary77777778888888]

@velcho1969 It costs money to hunt and the money goes back in to helping the animals wether it be makeing water sources for the animals or to keeping people fom inhabiting animal habitats or takeing out overpopulated animals and yes animals do over populate case and point (goat killer) its a video a bout a park where hunting is prohibited and thay higher a sharp shooter to lesson the goat population because thay are destroying thayer habitat as well as the other animals habitat--

hunting is actually good for the environment.

it prevents over population and preservers the hunted's food source

[BloodBrosPA]

8 people don't know a good thing when they see it.

There is nothing wrong with being a tree hugger just as nothing wrong with being a hunter as long as you know your role.
