Your "regulatory bodies" don't have a clue what they are doing. Dropping someone off to hunt for several days would be one thing. Chasing an animal down and then shooting it IS NOT HUNTING BY ANY DEFINITION! If I were to see them doing it I would have a real problem resisting the urge to put a few bullet holes in the chooper.
