I agree with your sentiments Kutenay,
But, this lady shoots her buff every year, often in the dead of winter, on horseback, often far from any roads in an area with a very high grizzly population. She's also quite a photographer, and she showed me the photo's taken with a delayed shutter, of her gutting it, skinning it, boning it out, putting the meat on her pack horses - all alone, in deep snow, in real wilderness - and all by herself.
She told me that one per year, provided her and her kids with something to break the monotony of moose every meal.
I thought to myself - if every native hunter (or white hunter - for that matter) had her work ethic, her wilderness ethic and her self-imposed conservation ethic - our province would be in good hands.
I sure admired her.
