We had a man, kids or just plain fools cutting down Joshua Tree's trees last year just for the hell of it. No other reason than it was just there. One of you all had a post a few years back about a couple idiots toppling standing boulders in a national park in Utah... No reason other than they just thought it would make good YouTube news. Just because something is there you don't need to wipe out a species, because its there, Yellowstone found that out with the wolf.

Are you attempting to describe the person in the story you posted a link to as a "hunter".

Holy fugg Phil, the man is a supposed wildlife removal specialist, NOT a hunter. Whatever credibility your argument might have, attempting to convey those actions as a "hunter" wantonly killing an animal had ruined it, to the point where you now have little if any credibility left to argue with.

The issue being discussed is bear hunting, not shooting coyotes off a golf course at the owners' behest. Not pushing boulders over, not cutting down Joshua trees.

Please explain how you've seeming come to believe bear hunting, in light of growing numbers statewide, should be entirely stopped for the benefits of wildlife or the human population of the State. And please use evidence, not stories that have nothing whatsoever to do with the subject at hand.
